On another related note... I would like to see his BKR's reinstated to the level before any games that were timed out. Seeing him with a 1500 backgammon bkr just doesnt seem right.

Ah... so I am confused! The tournament set up for Bumbnle by Cariad was done apon his return and he had signed up? I didnt hear about it untli later and when I signed up there were already over a hundred people and I thought that was why, I didnt realize he was in that one, I thought there was one he was not in, sorry!

Am I the only one confused?
There is a tournament for Bumble with a 6 month membership, and a tournament with Bumble in it?
It is only the tournament with Bumble in it that people in his section are resigning, obviously? Its true at some point Bumble will win this tournament if everyone resigns all their games with him. I a sure if this happens, fencer will do something good with this money, perhaps another tournament in his honor? But it is also likely that some will not resign their games with him, and it is likeley that someone other than Bumble will end up winning this tournament. Anyway it works out, no big deal, those who resigned should not really care if they lose...

Thad: I'm sure it will not get that far. I'm sure there are some users in the tournament who do not read this board to get that idea, plus I think everyone needs to show respect and do what is right for them so they may not choose to resign - but respect and remember him in a different way. Everyone should do what they feel is right for them. I'm sure bumble's family is touched by the actions of some to resign, and it is a very nice thing to do.

One thing I would like to ask is that no one go negative towards anyone who does not resign, or even think negativly towards them - that would be the last thing bumble would want. Everyone should mourn the way they need to, and not be forced or felt pressured to do so.

Um, it's really sweet that you are all resigning your games, but is everyone going to do that? He'll win the tournament and the 6-month membership. With all respect, does that make sense? Or else you'll have one clod who does not resign and takes the section (or tournament) win in a most unsportsmanlike way. Please don't flame me. I'm just looking at the bigger picture.

i've resigned too
Bumble lives in our hearts!

Stevie: I am, I've already resigned both games

Dolittle: I see its now started.. alas, Im not in Bumble's section.

Stevie:Thanks Stevie, I totally agree and would do the same. He may be gone but is certainly still in the hearts of many on here that do show respect!

Stevie: i would do the same in any game that i had with him! i think everyone should!

If Im in the section with Bumble, I will resign my games with him, thus giving him the win.. As a last sign of respect / passing gift :o)

That's enough.

Please.

JMDLOVESNIRVANA: It's only and only up to the tournament creator. In all cases.

anastasia: or you needed to have someone better than me explain! : )
But I think we got it sorted
*high five*

baddessi: ok,I think I have it now...sometimes things need to be explained to me like I am 3, LOL!!!! Thanks!

anastasia: no. I didn't explain that well.
Fencer sets up team tournaments. You can create a team from your fellowship and assign a captain who will sign up your tournament's team for the team tournament to compete with all the other teams signed up.

In the past, I know of a certain fellowship who wanted to have a competition against another fellowship they challenged.
They kept track of them the way you are keeping trakc of the guys vs gals tourney in your fellowship.

I hope this clears that up- please feel free to send me a PM with any questions or post them here.

Could anyone who still has active games in the Cardhu team Pente tournament please make an effort to make moves in those games more frequently and finish up those games. The players in the second round have already been determined and there are just a handful of games remaining that are holding up round two.

Thanks,
Thad

baddessi: so,if I wanted a team from my fellowship to play against another fellowship,I would have to get ahold of fencer?

anastasia: except for the team tournaments, which are organized by Fencer, you would have to keep track like you've been doing in your fellowship

Anyone who knows better than me - feel free to correct me here

At least till I think of more,lol....if I get a team together..how do I play other fellowships???

anastasia: No, you cannot pair people up yourself using the brainking tournament system. You have to do all that with regular games and call it a tournament (as you seem to be doing)

And your opponent timing out doesn't help your BKR if they time out in the first 2 moves...

As some of you knw that post here,in my fellowship I have a guys V gals tourney going but the guys had to send an invite out to the girls.Is it possible when I set up tourneys to pair the people up myself or not? I don't seem to think I can do it but thought I would ask anyways. btw...when a certain person times out agianst me,it just helps my rating,lol

mrloupcity: Regardless... a public board is not the place to bash someone. Especially if you don't know for sure that something "crooked" is going on!

but hey. now I'm off topic.. :-)

I need 3 more spider line 4 players...

http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?trg=13892&tri=87703&trnst=0

MidnightMcMedic: He timed out on all my games too....but it doesn't bother me. There is probably a good explanation and couldn't be helped. I think most of us have had times like that before.

Do you have proff of this?

I really think that CameronsDad should be removed from every tourney they enter. If they only going to make 2 move then time out just so they don't lose any BKR then why let them play.

MsDelete good win in the tournament: ..Backgammon & Hyper 2100+ First 8 (Backgammon)

This is a prize tournament my husband and I are proud to endorse. Luck to everybody.

Boy did i learn my lesson to look at the length of time per move.... 21 days - when actually used - makes for a looooong tourney....

furbster: I think you should be able to have a random tournament for all lines games, for example, and exclude anyone with over a 2000bkr, for example....

Perhaps we eventually get BKR's for randomness?

I'm not really sure how that works, with the BKR. I guess you'd have to ask Fencer on that one.

I am actually thinking that there is probably no need to give the creator any option to control the BKR level in random tournaments. (At least in it's present incarnation.)

furbster: So when you do a random tournament with several different games and a BKR limit, then the bkr limit would be required for all the games included, I guess?

For example if I am over 2000 bkr in one line game and under in all other line games and I want a random tournament for all lines games for under 2000 bkr, then I would not be eligaBLE TO PLAY IN ANY OF THE GAMES?

Also, since you made it a Random tourney, I believe there is no way for your BKR constraints to be automatically checked by the system.

Right, the creator decides the "pool" of games that the random games are generated from.
