alanback: yeah :( *comfort*

i think we should have a tournament bkr in which you also get points for being 2nd in a tournament, or when you reach a next round :)

Hrqls: That's a good idea. They do that at Vog for one of their tourney types. It's done as the percentage of the track that you succeeded on, so the winner gets 100%. The percentage for the rest depends on the number of rounds. A semi-finalist in a 4 round tourney will get 75% (25% for each of the three wins), a 2nd rounder in a 5-round tourney gets 20%, etc. As there are automatic byes you can still pick up points even if you lost your first (but 2nd round) match. It's not a flawless system by any means but it does add to the competition.

That points for tourneys. A rating for tourney play would be the average position (percentage0 reached. Over 50% is good, while 70% is phenomenal.

Andersp: If you're a FireFox user and would like the next best thing to a BrainKing Autopass ... there's the AutoPlayer which does forced moves (passes or where there's only one move possible) on your behalf (unless there's a message from your opponent or other reasons why the game needs your attention). For instance

fakarten, Andersp: Doh! Silly me. Yes, the AutoPlayer action is done by Hexkid's server and the user's OS and browser don't matter when it's in use. It's the other BK goodies that he's developing for Firefox. Thanks for reminding me. Your browser does need javascript for registering. There's a bit more information in the FAQ.

There ya go, Anders! Hexkid's got you covered!

Andersp: All the more to see the adverts! I guess you could enjoy it while it lasts. Who knows, if we capture a fairy and squeeze out a wish, maybe Fencer might even take hexkid's method as a simple but effective way to implement autopass within the BK server. ;o)

Thad: I can't see any advantage for Fencer in doing it but it's possibly by blocking the IP address of hexkid's server. But there are ways round that blockage and ways round the ways so we could see a technowar between the two whizzes as hexkid tries to fire his autoplays into Fencer's server while Fencer tries to bat them away into the null regions of cyberspace.

Относно: Re: Autopass
Thad: I don't think Fencer minds, but be aware that using hexkid's stuff is "outside" of the brainking system, so let say if it messes something up - like resigns a game automatically, it is not something that Fencer is responsible for or would fix - BUT that is just an extreme example - hexkid & others have been testing their system for awhile now..... but it is a case of "use at your own risk".

alanback: Your S-B looks correct to me. You lost to a weaker player, arpa lost to a stronger player (namely you).

jryden:
It's true that arpa lost to a stronger player, but this is not relevant for the Sonneborn-Berger calculation. What matters is that alanback defeated a stronger player.

arpa's and redsales's S-Bs were computed incorrectly. The correct result is:


Section 1 BKR 1 2 3 4 5 Points S-B (?) Order
1 mrbugs001 2040 0 0 0 0 0.0 0.0 5.
2 alanback 2004 1 1 0 1 3.0 5.0 1.
3 arpa 1961 1 0 1 1 3.0 4.0 2.
4 Ebru 1840 1 1 0 0 2.0 3.0 3.
5 redsales 1732 1 0 0 1 2.0 2.0 4.
