MadMonkey:  thats a great idea,  I know I mentioned to fencer too, and I got one of those "yes I should do something about it "

beach & Aganju : Sorry, now I get you both

Yes, that section has been a mess for years. I guess there needs to be something added / amended in the filter section, so at least you can look for what you are after

Sadly, I think Fencer will only sort issues out that are 'Quick fixes', and don't mean any new coding, so we have a problem we can not fix

All I can do myself is maybe utilize the top of this board, if yourself, or anyone sends me a tournament I can start posting a select few up top of here BUT it will be a case that it is just ONE link to each tournament, and I will also limit it to the next 10 coming up...... It will need keeping an eye on & as tournaments start, get removed and new ones added if they are available..... I think I would need at least one more Moderator as well, as I am not here all the time like I used to be

Let me know if you like the idea and if it would help

Else, i do not know what can be done

beach: it *is* a single tournament with all game types. that's exactly my point; the list breaks it automatically out into separate lines. But yes, overall there are too many in parallel open.

And not everybody cheats for his brains. I find it interesting to play for them, and worked hard to get to where I am.

MadMonkey:no I did not mean the discussion board  I meant the list of tournaments

MadMonkey: maybe I misunderstand. I was talking about the 'Tournaments' main link, not the discussion board here. When you click https://brainking.com/en/Tournaments, you get a two-mile-long list of tournaments with prices, which I am interested in, but not for two miles.
As I mentioned, the issue is that they are 'unrolled', so if someone sets up a tournament for all game types, there will be 128 lines showing for it - which makes for a *long* list. Right now there are 379 entries you have to scroll by until you get to the other tournaments.

To be clear, there is nothing wrong (in my eyes) with the Tournament Discussion Board.

beach: Please let me know what is wrong with the Tournament Board ... Apart from Tournaments being advertised, and winners, and people being congratulated, i haven't seen anything out of order here....

If people just want Tournaments posted here it would end up being just like the Tournaments section and be a million times worse, and be pointless having it...

beach: Yes me too.
I don't read this board anymore which is, for me, misunderstood and too much full.

beach: I think it's unfortunate; all tournaments with brains are 'unrolled', which means each game type is listed separately. That makes it a very long list currently, which, yes, is a bit annoying. When this was developed, tournaments with brains to win were probably much rarer; I remember eagerly checking when new ones appeared.
Would be cool if only the first 10 are a shown, maybe with setting 'show all'/'show only 10'.

But in the overall view on life, I think I can take scrolling down ever so often. There are worse things on the site that I'd see as more important to be fixed.

Just curious is their anyone other then me that is annoyed with the mess of the tournament board

That’s done now. Thanks to those who messaged me.

Some fellowships seem not be active, and I don’t find a team to join.
If a captain is looking for a player for triple dice poker and dice chess, I would be happy to join the team and play in the tournaments that MadMonkey mentioned below.
Thank you.

Well, the Team Tournaments have been running along greatly so far, BUT they seem to have slowed down

April 2022 - Hyper Backgammon 1 starts in about 5 days, and has 5 teams entered

We only need 1 more team for the April 2022 - Triple Dice Poker 1 tourney to start

Then we have :-

May 2022 - Five in Line 1 ... only 1 team so far

May 2022 - Dark Battleboats 2 ... only 1 team so far

May 2022 - Dice Chess 2 ... only 2 teams so far

I am trying to pick the most popular games, and also those I can see have players signed up

Please help out if you can,

MM
