The section size also affects the number of games played. Assuming the section size is constant, the number of team players doesn't affect how many games each player playes - it is simply (games against each player) * (teams per section - 1).

the bigger the teams needed the less games people have to play in a team tournament .. isnt it ?

lets say we have 120 players ... which can be either 10 teams of 12 players or 20 teams of 6 players

the 10 teams of 12 players let all 12 players of each team play against the corresponding player of all other teams .. giving 9 games per player in a team

for the 20 teams of 6 players this would mean 19 games per player in a team

maybe i am confused though ;)

Congratulations ~
The Big O winner of this tournament.

Thanks guys!

Please try it now. You should be able to join another team of the same game type, even if the team tournament is still running. But you cannot do it if the current tournament is in the "sign up" status, just to avoid joining more than one team for the same tourney.

Prize tournies are in bold type on the tournaments page, dolittle (I think!).

Are there any prize tourneys to sign up for at present?

No, I mean everyone.

do you mean knights,Fencer?

That's what I am talking about.

The thing is, the previous five in line tourny is no where near finishing yet also

Well, if players are allowed to leave a team (on the fellowship page) after the corresponding team tournament is started and join another team for another team tournament, it should solve this problem in the easiest way.

Stevie - but if you have a fellowship that could easily enter 2 teams of 5 for Backgammon - why not? rather than players either not playing or transferring to other fellowships (like what has happened this BG tournament). If they cant raise two teams - they enter one.

VERY BAD IDEA, its hard enough for some fellowships to get a team together, let alone with a couple of fellowships hogging the players

Fast Start - First 5 to sign - Fast Espionage #5 tournament? Heres a link: http://brainking.com/game/Tournaments?trg=6562&tri=24020&trnst=0

I can see what you say bumble, but to start creating even more fellowships will create more problems for those who are members of lots as it is (the 'Wombats' one being for a good reason of course).
I just think there should and could be an easier way around something like this. As it is some big boss's are struggling to fill team tournaments as much as they have fellowship members wanting to play, BUT to have such a high target set to be able to enter does not seem right for some of the fellowhips. Alot (even the larger ones) can not as much as would like to get a team together, unless it is Backgommon of course LOL.

Oh well, there seems no easy answer :-(

for Jasons Games Room crowded backgammon team bkr not important just have fun ;)

Red Squirrel Smashed Nuts ~Spider Line4 Tournament.

Congratulations The Big O on winning.

Uh-huh.

MM: We had a problem in 'Wombats' recently. We wanted to enter a team but the big boss, cariad, was in hospital and the deadline was fast approaching. rhiannon started her own fellowship and invited all the members of 'Wombats' so that we could get a team together.
As it turned out cariad was able to enter a 'Wombats' team and rhiannon another team, so in effect 'Wombats' had two teams.
Of course, that isn't practical for a large fellowship but the option of someone creating a new fellowship just to enter a tourney is there.

Okay, then you your answer? :-) Goodluck MM and have fun participating in the tourny!

I see no reason really why a fellowship can not have 2 teams and players decide which one to sign up for. If they have enough for 2 teams, then both can enter. I think this was suggested a few days ago.

Hello, we also need at least 3 more players in our Halma 8x8 team for the upcoming Team tourny. Thank you :-)

Awww, okay, im sorry to jump in this discussion :-) Yep, i would not be willing play that many games.. would not be attractive either as a tourny! I am trying to get my teams formed, but I tell them, i dont' need more then 5 / 8 people :-) Perhaps you can start thinking of forming 2 teams.. this time team 1 plays and next time team 2 plays :-) Hows that for an idea..

I am sure i could Radiant, the point i am making is that how many games you are going to end up playing (thats the reason he left).
22 for every Team that enters (i think lol), thats a hell of alot if you get a few teams entered even for the addicted players.
I agree with what Bry says about Backgammon being the only game that could work with this amount of players.

Need players to join the Froglets Team, so we can participate in the coming Team Tournament.. we need 8 players!!

Thank you :-)

Need players to join the Five in Line Team, so we can participate in the coming Team Tournament!! We need at least 3 more players!

Thank you :-)

sorry to hear MM.. but if there are so many other people signed up im sure there is someone willing to be helpful to sign up as the captain.. They all would like to play the tourny, right?! ;-) Goodluck, nevertheless..

I have to agree 12 players is too much (switched colours as well). I had 12 signed up, but my Captain just left as he did not want to be stuck in such a BIG tourny :-(

Radiant tyvm, it was a really good finals match. I think it was 1 of the best 1 I have been in. Think most every game came down to the wire. And Oldhamgirl thxs for making it a gr8888t match.

mrloupcity CONGRATULATIONS! And Oldhamgirl well played..

all others who joined in the games: thank you and join again :-)

Big 5 in a line Tourney.....

http://brainking.com/game/ShowFellowship?fid=6

we only need 2 more players to make the 12..... any takers??


:)

Thanks Jason, I should have clarified that I created the tournament and am already signed up so cannot test to see what happens.

if its reached the maximum amount of players you wont be able to sign up , it should state that on the relevant page .

Can someone tell me if a tournament will not accept more players signing up when the maximum number of players is reached, even if the last day to sign-up has not been reached?

Hrqls was asking for people to join a 5 in Line team ~ send me a message or join Nooks and Crannies and join the relevant team there.
We have 6 players and need at least 6 more please.

Nooks and Crannies

Nooks and Crannies Box of Delights ~~Spider Linetris.

Congratulations Windy on winning the Spider Linetris in Nooks and Crannies Box of Delights Tournament.

only Backgammon could command teams of 12 players in my opinion - and have a healthy number of teams competing.

LOL @ Stevie :)

Lets take a look at those numbers....

12 players per team, at least 4 teams to start the tournament, at least 48 players needed to start that tournament. Currently 352 rooks and above. Minus the rooks and above which are not active, you get 335. Most knights that play in team tournament are probable already on a team, so probable will not be able to join this one. So basicly, about 15% of the active available players, or about 1 out of 7 rooks and above will have to join to make this tournament possible.

(and if you remove the rooks and above who are not even in any fellowships, that will also change the numbers.)

Oh yea, it was not my idea in case anyone was wondering. :-)

heh if anyone want to to play in the five in line team tournament .. we have 6 players in our team now .. need 6 more :)

send me a message when interested
(after or before you send your message to goonerg ;))

not BBW?? LOL if it was him, then its a very very very very cool idea ;oÞ

if anyone want to play in this, we have 7 players at the minute, and need 5 more.....

drop a line to me, or visit the Mercenaries Fellowship! http://brainking.com/game/ShowFellowship?fid=6

Hee hee hee :-)) No, I am not. There is somebody else who came with this idea.

You are not a captain of Five in Line team.

Luisifer is organising a prize tournament - the prize being a maharajah membership!

His idea is to get several members of the Czech community here to donate an amount of money each, which will pay for the prize.

I'd like to organise a similar tournament among UK/US players. Right now a 6 month maharajah membership is around £415, or $798.
A 12 month membership would be £692 or $1,331.

If anyone is interested in donating towards this tournament, please send me a message. This isn't to commit yourself, I just need to know the level of interest.
Ideally if we could get about 40 people interested in donating about £17 each, we could offer up a 12 month maharajah prize.
Or if 40 people could give £10 each, it could be a 6 month maharajah membership.

Send me a message if you would like to donate towards this tournament. No obligation right now, you can change your mind later - I just want to know the number of people who might be interested.

Thanks to both, I will create the start date for just after New Years and send money order to customer representative as soon as correct P.O Box is confirmed by Erissa.

It's recommended to send the money just after creating the tournament.

Probably best to send the money now.
Fencer won't start the tournament until the prize has been paid for anyway.
