https://brainking.com/cn/Board?bc=180778 *144*Brfs 11th Annual St. Pat's Pente Tourney*144* cn https://brainking.com/cn/print/Board?bc=180778&ngi=1176720 Now this is unheard of, a finished St Pats tournament in 6 weeks! Not sure how it'll play out for 2018 but I like this only opening the windows for a short time before 3/17/xx date. This really made for some fast play and it looks like we received mostly serious players wanting to plow through it quickly which was nice for a change. Congrats on the win though dein, please let me know if there is a problem on the prize, but in the past I've noticed that it usually takes a day or so to have that applied.

Thanks again to everyone who signed up and best of luck to all remaining players in Round 2, nicely done!

Since a lot of the usual players have been also declining (due to BK's announcement or playing elsewhere who can say?) and the fact that a larger tourney takes longer I waited until there was only 48hrs left and made the tournament then. This super tight signup window didn't leave a lot of room for folks see it and signup, only those that log in and check BK regularly. I'm fine with it, it makes the pool small for once which I think should speed this along a lot quicker than what we've seen in the past (usual December finish). glad you made it though, I didn't think you would. Best of luck in your matches too, I hope those rusty Pente skills didn't atrophy too badly Tue, 21 Mar 2017 21:43:28 CET https://brainking.com/cn/print/Board?bc=180778&ngi=1176422 Brf: Thanks Brf. I barely remembered to check brainking when St. Pat's day came along, and it wasn't quite the usual turnout. Then I read some discussion boards and saw that brainking's days might be numbered. Bummer. I wonder if that is related to the fewer entries here.

I bowed out on this one since I wanted to ensure someone else wins have fun and play some good pente! -Brf Sat, 18 Mar 2017 00:24:02 CET
