Snoopy:does it sounds good that the tourney will be single elimination ( with a match game of 3 or 4 games ) so any pawn should be able to join even if they have only 1 slot open for game ??
about the time 100% i will use fisher clock ( 3 days to start with 1 day of extra time and maximum of 6 days ) or not use any vacations ( could be either 5 or 6  days no vacation )
what you think all ???

Snoopy: Ok i see that.But you can not close a running tournament,right.Thanks again:)

"GERRY": you just change the date and time to a time thats just passed and to close it
you just type how many ppl are allowed into it in the box

Snoopy: How do you close a tournament & start them ?

Snoopy: Yes i agree with you.As of now my prize tournament is full.If i had the prize in it could start it now then.I never new you could start & close them.Thanks Snoopy:))

"GERRY": if he does has i suggested and closes it down 2 hours before it starts noone else can enter it

and it dosnt really matter how short you make the time limit
if its a large tournament it will go on for at least a year anyway simply because the prize is a black rook

FrancescoLR: Time is going to be the biggest thing.If that is not set right it can go on for year,s.You as creator of the tournament can do anything up to the minute it start,So be online before it does,& stay in your tournament as it is about to start because there is all kind,s of unwanted players here.It will go into the red time .Being as big it could be.Most tournaments will start within 5 to 10 minute,s.Check with Fencer on that.I can hardy wait to see this one start.GOOD LUCK MY GOOD FRIEND:))))

FrancescoLR: Yes i noticed that, thats why its gonna be a big tourney, you will probably end up with the whole site joining it lol

Summer Flame:hope so :) ans first place will win a black rook

FrancescoLR: It sounds like its gonna be one gigantic tournament, looks like a lot of fun

FrancescoLR: the answer to first part of question is NO once a person is removed they CANNOT rejoin

Snoopy:if i remove someone before the start can that player could still come back and join ?
hopefully i will be there 100% when tourney starts ... in general it will be for pple of certain fellowships besides of course a list of players that cannot join anyway and that i will say .... ( Vikings is on that list too .. ) or people that have decided not to play in it anyway ( Snoopy for exemple ) but whom i will send invite if they want to :). Now friend Coan Net and Snoopy wich is the best set up for a tourney where there will be the first 10 players rewarded ?? how i set up the tourney ?? ( do 10 groups and the winners will play then ? do eliminitaion and the last 10 do a different tourney ) // what are your suggestion esepcially you 2 that have done and organize tons of tourneis .. on this list i would like also the opinion of somelaughs and other big boss of fellowships :)
thank you all

coan.net: he can also remove unwanted players and then set the numbers of players to what is left so it closes the tournament of to other players
ive found that is the easy way to go

FrancescoLR: Oh... and I believe if you make it a pawn only tournament, other non-pawns will be able to join - even with an invite.

FrancescoLR: Sorry I never got a chance to answer before... but will try to jump in here and help a little if I can.

The best thing might be to be around when the tournament is ready to start, and before it starts - kick out any players that are not suppose to be there - since as Vikings said, once it starts, there is really no way to remove anyone. (weather Fencer will not give out a prize to someone would be something you would need to talk to him about.)

One thing you could do is a few hours before a tournament is set to start, look at the list - remove the players, and even change the "start time" to a time that has already past - which would mean that when the tournament start-up script runs within the next hour, the tournament will start... hopefully without anyone who is not suppose to be in there signs in.

Other idea - make it an invite only tournament - and if someone wants to play, have them send you a message where you can invite them

Vikings:thank you ..
2 more questions :
 1)if i create a tourney open to pawns can i then invite other players (not pawns)? and if so how i should set up the tounrey ? (Fencer said to try set up tourney for pawns and then invite but will it work ?)
2) then if happens that someone signed as pawn can Fencer stop the prize in case that pawns wasn;t suppose to be there and wins ??

FrancescoLR: not after the tournament starts, otherwise some people could use that as a means to cheat

i have question and i make it public because my efforts to get an answer from coan net were ignored .. ( maybe he was  too busy for the poll )
If i create a tourney by invitation ( as it will be the mega tourney  with black rook for the first place ) and tourney starts ... but then i see that someone somehow signed for the tourneis ,someone that wasn;t suppose to be there .. can i still take him/her out of the tourney even still the tourney start ??
thank you for support and answer

I will be keeping a running total in my fellowship as the wins come to me.

FrancescoLR: i think the backgammons would be the most popular with the most joining. i wouldnt join the camelot or logic game. Ludo and dice poker would be second most popular. in my opinion

Look for all my tournaments that will be coming up within the next week. I should be a rook again by then.

FrancescoLR: True, but unless you pick the most popular games Gammon, Dice Poker & Ludo, you will find there are many games people have not played (Jungle, Tank Battle etc..) AND AGAIN the problem is some of the great skill players here will not take part in Tournaments like that as games are controlled by dice and therefore involve luck

FrancescoLR:

FrancescoLR:

Tournament will be only for members of
Yesterday's World
anyone interested please request membership.

Thank You.

MadMonkey:hmm random games ??? but Ian if someone has never played such games then it will be unfair .. i must give to all players a chance to win and so the game has also to be known by most players even pawns that just join brainking ...

FrancescoLR: Il agree with Pedro, the games here i would say in your case would fall into 3 groups.

Cheversi, Scrambled Eggs, Logik, Amazons, Knight Fight, Ataxx, Assimilation, BB, DBB, BB+, Racing Kings, Jarmo, Mancala, Tank Battle, Camelot etc..... - Involve most skill (dont think you can get software to help, but probably get proved wrong lol)

All Gammons, All Pokers, Dice Chess etc..... - Controlled by Dice, yet still decisions to be made.

Chess, Checkers, Line4 etc..... - Can get software to help you, BUT of course we have some GREAT players that DO NOT use it.

Of course, they are my views, and others would feel different
I guess its totally down to you as the Tournament creator. If it was me personally for such a GREAT PRIZE i would run a Random group Tournament and pick a few games from each section to give everyone a chance
