Massacre Chess Club Andy. 7. června 2009, 21:14:58 Subjekt: Re: vacation days Czuch: So... maybe if you used a vacation day today already on another game that was ready to time out, then again on a different game the same day? The second time (and every other that same day) would only reduce your vacation days left on the first game? 7. června 2009, 21:15:22 Subjekt: Re: vacation days  Czuch: Either Sunday is one of their weekend days or your game was not the first one to "time out" today. 7. června 2009, 21:16:53 Subjekt: Re: vacation days Pedro Martínez: okay, thats what i was trying to say, I think.... it is not their weekend day for sure. 8. června 2009, 13:49:14 Subjekt: Fencer..... You mentioned that you might be increasing the number of boards a fellowship can have, by the talk I thought you were going to increase the quantity to maybe 6 boards?? Is it happening??? 8. června 2009, 19:12:23 Subjekt: Re: Congrats Fencer! Czuch:To my surprise I found that my first login was on 12 February 2003, so I've been here even longer. My how time flies! 9. června 2009, 14:14:43 Subjekt: Dan & Kyu  I see that we have dan & kyu in Go. Nice. 9. června 2009, 22:19:01 Subjekt: Re: Dan & Kyu aaru: How are these calculated? Other than the BKR I think as the higher BKR here has a lower dan rating Go Ceiter 2260 - 2 dan Go 13x13 ad0 2414 - 4 dan Go 9x9 Ceiter 2142 - 1 dan 9. června 2009, 22:48:57 Subjekt: Re: Dan & Kyu joshi tm: There is a table: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_ranks_and_ratings#Elo_Ratings_as_used_in_Go 11. června 2009, 00:47:51 Subjekt: U.S. Deals Blow to Online-Poker Players In an apparent crackdown on Internet gambling, federal authorities In an operation that began last week, the office of the U.S. A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office had no comment. 11. června 2009, 00:50:07 Subjekt: Re: U.S. Deals Blow to Online-Poker Players alanback:   11. června 2009, 00:55:02 MidnightMcMedic 11. června 2009, 01:13:08 Subjekt: Re: Czuch:Indeed. One hopes that non-US players weren't affected, but who knows? 11. června 2009, 02:05:24 Subjekt: Re: alanback: did they say why? 11. června 2009, 03:30:08 Subjekt: Re: nodnarbo:Internet gambling is illegal in the US. 11. června 2009, 03:50:57 Subjekt: Re: Změněno uživatelem Herlock Sholmes (11. června 2009, 03:52:00) alanback:but do you know why ? because those greedy, fat cats do not know how to profit from this gambling ... don't worry, if they could get 40 percent of gambling site income it would be suddenly legal ...  this is what I think about what is legal or illegal in this country ...11. června 2009, 13:10:05 Subjekt: Re: ChessVariant: It's probably the Vegas lot and all other USA based gambling groups moaning about losing business. And your right, they could easily make it that each gambling site has to have a licence which they must pay for.... and have to renew annually. And I'd probably guess that the online companies within a heartbeat will say.. "YES". 11. června 2009, 13:15:13 Subjekt: Please Fencer... About the more boards for fellowships.. http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=1&plla=988251 Is it, is it not happening? By this conversation I thought you were going to increase the number of boards that a fellowship can have by 2 or 3.  12. června 2009, 13:01:17  hmmmmm ok PLEASE someone explain to me this: Madhouse 2009 - Week 24 Madhouse 2009 - Week 24 Byes take effect in the FIRST round on an Elimination Tournament. Looking at these 2 examples something odd is happening. The only way this can work here is if you are having Byes in the next Round & the next etc..etc.. so you could get a Bye to the Final. To me using Byes, the first column of games should be 4, 8, 16 etc... where the empty spaces are Byes as such. Other games in the Tournament are fine whether they have 5, 7 or whatever amount of players. PLEASE tell me this is a bug  12. června 2009, 13:54:19 Subjekt: Re: MadMonkey: That looks very wrong to me. The first tournament has only 8 players - there's shouldn't be any byes to begin with. The second tournament has 10 players - 6 players should have byes, the four remaining players should play the two matches in the first round. Ideally, the two matches should be distributed over both halves of the bracket; that is, if the winners of the first round matches keep winning, they should meet in the final. If you use the schema below, and fill in the participants in order, then there will not be byes, and first round winners will meet as late as possible.
This also easily generalizes to 32, 64, 128 participants (and to 8). 12. června 2009, 14:32:57 Subjekt: Re: Změněno uživatelem MadMonkey (12. června 2009, 14:33:38) AbigailII: Agreed I knew it was wrong, but wanted to make sure, so i messaged a few people as well  Will be interesting to see what happens after the first round lol 12. června 2009, 15:00:32 Subjekt: Re: MadMonkey: Yeah, that is totally whacky! It looks like things will sort themselves in the next round.... that nobody will get a bye then, but the pairings of who plays who, make absolutely no sense at all? Why does the guy rated 1900s get a first round bye anyway?  12. června 2009, 17:30:04 Subjekt: Re: MadMonkey: Heh, that's funny.  And it's interesting that nothing like that happened when I was testing byes before releasing them. Well, BrainKing is already too complex and even a small change can cause unexpected problems.I'll look at it soon. 12. června 2009, 18:00:32 Subjekt: Re: Fencer: Trust me, if there is a problem i will find it 12. června 2009, 19:38:35 Subjekt: Re: Czuch: It looks like things will sort themselves in the next round.... that nobody will get a bye then, Incorrect. For the first tournament, there are 2 matches, and 4 byes. So the round will have 6 players (winners of the two matches, and the four people with byes). That means there will be 2 byes. Now, it may very well be that the two byes actually "play each other" ("winner" of 13 against 14 against "winner" of 15 against 16), but that means there's still a bye in the round after that. It's a complete mess. 12. června 2009, 19:53:06 Subjekt: Byes There is never a need or a justification for byes after the first round in a single elimination tournament. It's easy to calculate the number of byes. If there are N players and X is the next power of 2 higher than N, there should be (X-N) byes. Of course, if N is a power of 2, there should be no byes. 12. června 2009, 20:07:34 Subjekt: Re: Byes alanback: Exactly what i meant to write  On the same subject, the lowest value should be 2 really. OK its a straight Final, BUT at least the 2 people that entered that particular Elimination would get to play 12. června 2009, 20:37:43 Subjekt: Re: Byes  MadMonkey: Already people complain that some players get "too" much credit for winning a tournament when there are only 4 players in the tournament - having only 2 or 3..... I honestly don't think that is a good idea. 4 is a good minimum number. But as for the elimination tournaments, you should ALWAYS have either 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 spaces for players ... and so on. At first when I looked at your tournament examples you posted below, at quick glance I first thought... Oh, those look OK - but then noticed they were a 12 section tournament with 8 players, and a 14 section tournament with 9 players... which of course would be interesting to see what the system does in later rounds when there is an odd amount of sections to match people up against. 12. června 2009, 21:19:23 Subjekt: Re: Byes coan.net: I know how Eliminations work, i play Darts every week in them I do not see how anyone can complain that certain players get "too" much credit for winning a Tournament It is not the players fault who entered a Tournament, they took a chance and participated. Whether they won one round or 10 rounds, they put there name down....and if anyone complains about someone winning something too easily the answer is simple, enter yourself  To me the more games started, the more Tournaments started, the more people get to play games, and that is why i thought we were here.....simple 12. června 2009, 21:23:37 On a similar point, BUT on the actual Tournament mentioned earlier. Why is this one in Waiting status ?? It has been like it since 11.00am when most of the others started. Madhouse 2009 - Week 24 (Backgammon) 12. června 2009, 21:26:22 Subjekt: Re: Byes MadMonkey: .... and my more detailed explanation wasn't really geared towards you, but a more detailed on it for anyone else who might be confused about it. (Did not mean to sound like my whole post was directed at you... that part was more of just a general layout of how the byes should work.) 12. června 2009, 21:32:15 Subjekt: Re: Byes coan.net: Thats ok chap, i realize some people may not get the gist of Eliminations and Byes Any thoughts on my last post ? Possibly that is related to the same Bug, i can not see how a Tournament can just stay Waiting 12. června 2009, 22:09:43 Subjekt: Re: Byes MadMonkey: I would guess it goes along with that same bug - something in the code where it created the tournament probable got messed up (which explains the wrong number of player slots), and probable did not get to the point of changing waiting to running or something. So since that is with one of the "buggy" tournaments, I wouldn't worry about it yet. 13. června 2009, 00:51:29 Subjekt: Re: Byes MadMonkey: do you think that Fencer might have put it on waiting until he can get around to seeing what's wrong and fixing it? 13. června 2009, 00:53:42 Subjekt: Re: Byes nodnarbo: No, it went like that hours ago before i even mentioned the Byes problem. 13. června 2009, 01:25:34 Subjekt: Re: Byes MadMonkey: It still says "Waiting", yet the games have strated already. Also, on the main page it says there are 9 players on the tournament, but I only count 8. Should we start making a list of all the problems this tournament has? 13. června 2009, 01:28:39 Subjekt: Re: Byes Roberto Silva: I did say when i created both the weekly & monthly ones, that i would give the Byes a proper testing 13. června 2009, 02:57:42 Subjekt: Massacre Chess Club wants you !!!!! Změněno uživatelem Herlock Sholmes (13. června 2009, 02:59:39) please join one of a kind Club on brainking.com ... one game, universe of chances, no bull, no confusion ... play and discuss this new craze on our site ... we have stairs, tournaments and a team to join ... Massacre Chess Club Massacreator, Andy.  13. června 2009, 04:32:26 Subjekt: Just curious..... Hi All  I have about 25 different tournament games with ONE person that NEVER moves our games. The time just keeps rolling over and over. They never time out. He never moves. Will they ever end??? lol Is there anything that can be done? It seems like such a waste of game space, and surely they are holding up the tourneys!!! Just curious.... 13. června 2009, 04:47:00 Subjekt: Re: Just curious..... Babe68:I am not an expert in all those vacation/time for move/time for game issues ... but you are right it has to change ... I was once playing chess on another site, than quit playing my games, came back to the same site after several months and my time was still ticking and the other guy was (at least I think so) waiting for my move ... it's idiotic ... I am playing now backgammon and my opponent moves every second day ... my question is ... what is the pleasure of playing such a dynamic game for weeks or months ? I understand it's turn based site but common, 30 days should be absolute maximum for a game ... after 30 days it should be over ... if you are traveling constantly and have no time to make 1 move in a week than please do not join a game ... start collecting stamps or something ... they can wait ... Andy. 13. června 2009, 04:55:50 Subjekt: Re: Just curious.....  ChessVariant:sorry to interfere .. my suggestion is to do as i do now .. i sign ONLY for tourneis with no vacation allowed, tourney with the fisher clock or with 2 or 3 days max per move i have tourney on from 3 yrs ago ......pple dont move quick so i had to change the way to play only fast tourneis including pond  13. června 2009, 05:36:16 Subjekt: Re: Byes Změněno uživatelem Czuch (13. června 2009, 05:36:57) Roberto Silva:the main page it says there are 9 players on the tournament, but I only count 8. I wonder if that is the crux of this problem? Maybe someone had signed up and then removed themselves, or been removed by the creator just before the start, or something like that?13. června 2009, 11:18:15 Subjekt: Byes It should be fixed for all future tournaments. 13. června 2009, 12:07:13 Subjekt: Re: Byes Fencer: IS this one part of the same problem, it says Waiting, (he has since yesterday morning lol) yet the games have started Madhouse 2009 - Week 24 (Backgammon) << < 556 557 558 559 560 561 562 563 564 565 > >> |
