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: 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

Oh good.....Another Checkers Team Tournament

Like we have no other games

MadMonkeys 'All Other Games' Mess (4) - Ludo - Nuno Miguel

MadMonkeys 'Gammon' Stakes (9) - Cloning Backgammon - Fitzmertz

Marshmud: hmmm no idea chap, it can always be mentioned on Feature requests board

I see no problem myself.

Marshmud: You do not understand ....... Would you like me to write a paper on it

A few of the ones open for sign up are still running from there previous release

There are LOADSSSS of others to choose from, but sadly we can only ask

I messaged coan.net a while ago, but he only creates them every other month

We could just alternate between Mancala, Cheversi & Logik that would suit us

(sorry cancel Logik, that one is still running. Over 2 months and still waiting for first move in 2 of my games )

When are the next lot of Team Tournaments going to be posted

Only 3 weeks before the last one posted starts

MadMonkeys 'All Other Games' Mess (4) Frog Finder - Ugo

MadMonkeys 'Gammon' Stakes (9) Backgammon - Ladybird68

Come on Fellowship Bosses, and relevant Captains of course some Team Tournaments are starting to struggle

Please have a look and see if you can help out

July 2008 Turkish Checkers (NO DAYS OFF) needs just ONE more Team, and is 15 days late already.

Mort (Anti Froglet) & Wyrd Sisters (Parachute Lines of Action) also need ONE more Team in each, and have 10 days before they start.

(This was a BrainKing Team Tournament announcement lol)

coan.net: Funny this should be mentioned, i was going to create one for Dec 21, 2012 as thats when the world will end (well so the Mayan's say lol).

If you have no idea what i am on about, HERE is the 2012 homepage, but just try searching Google, you will find out lots. Of course they recently made a film about the Skulls, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, though not seen that so can't comment on it

OH, all happens in 4 years, 181 days if anyone's interested
