The annual Mind Sports Olympiad is being hosted in London, United Kingdom from August 21-31, 2009. Many events that are played on brainking.com are being played there, including several World Championships. Some of the games played (which are also played here):
Lines of Action Chess Go Backgammon Poker Chinese Chess Draughts
Its a virtually unique tournament and a great experience. The standard of play and variety of games on offer are usually at very high standard. It would be great if at least some BK-ers could make it to London for this event.

Clandestine 1: This is already on Fencers list, hopefully it will be part of BrainKing 3.0
I have just had a Team Tournament start, yet one of the player has not been here for a week, and is already timing in in normal games. Even though they have not made a move in this Team Tournament i can do nothing about it, so ALL those games are lost. Hence, the Tournament is lost already, and a waste of time for the others involved. It would be worse if any players were Knights / Bishops, they would be stuck there
Clandestine 1: yes that be good but only in new tournaments it shouldnt apply to ones already on the go and i agree with Vikings the alternates should be known before hand to stop ppl leaving one team and joining another that looks like winning
it would gave a new twist to them has it is team tournaments are fast becomming a REAL BORE
Imsoaddicted: The Tournament you mention i 100% agree about.
Is what is annoying, although there is still a game to finish, there is NO reason the next round can not start, as this last game will NOT effect who goes through to the next round.
This should be sorted in ALL Tournamnets so to speed them up
