Eriisa: .... plus I would try to spread tournaments out - so I would probable pick 1 gammon game, probable Nack since that past tournament is already complete.

But that list is also misleading - since "short" game which do not last very long will of course have less active games - where Ludo (for example) takes awhile longer - so has a higher amount of current games.

coan.net: I hope you keep us posted on team tournaments. There are some other things ( like interviews) that happen so rarely, with few updates, that one gives up wondering when the next one will happen. Some kind of regular feedback would be nice.

Also, you mentioned that you have to have six start each month. Why did only one get posted recently?

emmett: The one posted earlier was just playing / testing - to make sure it did work - I guess before Fencer made this function, he was manually entering the tournaments into the database.... which was more work, and probable why he did not make that many often.

It's still 90 days before the "next" set, so I will probable wait awhile before I add more tournaments. I believe that me & Tanein will take turns - one creating a set each month. I will AT LEAST create them 30 days in advance, but probable closer to 60 days in advance - to give plenty of time to get teams together. I don't want to make them too soon - or a new game might get added to the site where I might want to create a tournament for.

(And if a time comes that we slow down on creating tournament, feel free to give me a friendly nudge to create more.)

coan.net: Thank you for your quick response. Some of us are really into the Team Tournaments, and we appreciate that this will be accomplished on a regular basis.

One suggestion that I have is that we include one game that has never been offered before in a Team Tournament before. This will introduce a seldom-played game to new players. I currently play many games that I had never tried before Team Tournaments introduced them to me.

emmett: Yes - that is my thinking also. Of course I'll try to pick a couple popular, but also pick games that there has not been a team tournament for yet. I have my eyes on Nackgammon, and Dark Chess so far - which Dark Chess has not had a tournament yet. (but don't quote me on that - I may change my mind once I do create them) (AND AT LEAST 1 CHECKERS GAME)
