Top 10% Faster Backgammoners for 2006-07

Walter Montego: I've got the seeding tables from Pedro Martínez, they might be a little different to yours but I guess it is correct too.

gambler104: You are right about that, but the method I was using lends itself to higher powers of 2 more easily. It also depends on how much importance is placed on the ratings, their accuracy, and the goals of the tournament organizer.

I like to think that the ratings are accurate with the goal to have the best players play each other for the championship and not knock each other out in the early rounds. I'st easy to group the people by adding one to the power of 2 for the number of rounds and then pairing them that way.
8 people is three rounds 2 × 2 × 2 + 1 = 9. 1-8, 2-7, 3-6, and 4-5 should be the first round pairings. If the rounds will not be reseeded each round, which is the normal procedure, the winner of 1-8 should play the winner of 4-5, and the winner of 2-7 plays the winner of 3-6. It's fairly straight forward to draw the tree graph using the numbers and keeping them like that. A few months ago some peole posted some good links for tournament organizers and also discussion various formats of it. Perhaps someone can remember where it is and maybe add the link to this page's title. I'm willing to bet Fencer made a note of it.

For sixteen players you use 17 as the number, thirty-two uses 33.

Walter Montego: Fencer's way is one possible way to do it. Your's is another. Another is 1-5 2-6 3-7 4-8, 1-3 2-4. It would be a combination of those 2.

Fencer: Unless your ratings changed after this seeding was made, it is not correct. Also, it is customary to list the ranking with the person.

Top bracket as 1-8
next------- as 4-5
next------- as 3-6
next------- as 2-7

If done in this manner it will makes it possible to have the top seeds meet in the semi final and the number 1 and 2 meet in the final. It is easier to follow using the numbers this way too. If the ranking were done with the top four seeds and the rest assigned randomly, then I suppose it's fine and doesn't matter. It certainly is an improvement. How did you do it?

Walter Montego: The seeding should be correct now. For new tournaments. This is an example: JoshiTM's all open Single game Eliminator 8 #2

Well, I didnt see many one day move tourneys so I set a couple up.

Fast Small Backgammons #9

Fast Small Backgammons #10

1 day move, 5 players per section, NO DAYS OFF

RandomGammdon #2
all gammon type games are in the mix.
1 day moves. NO days off. 16 people needed~

Ludo for 4 - single elimination #15

Unlocking international wire transfers cost me same as premium account, but we already talked about it. Also, I am under 18 and I do not own any credit/debt cards. Sorry, not possible.
However I am glad to hear that PayPal is going to care more for (about?) Poland, I will tunr 18 in this month so we will see if I will be able to purchase membership then.

Chaosu: Of course it is possible if you have a credit/debit card. Furthermore, beginning 14th September, you'll be eligible to have a full-featured PayPal account.

Sorry, not possible.

Chaosu: lol :) buy a small membreship, join the team, win the tournament, earn 200 brains, use it for further membership :)

& me!

I can if You will buy me a membership.

the team of the plente o pente fellowship can use (needs) some extra players for the connect 6 team

who can help us ? ;)

imsoaddicted: the tourney would still run but only if there is enough players so for example, if only 4 people sign up and 1 of them gets removed the tourney would not run, but if 17 signed up and 3 were removed it would still run just with 14 players.

Edited after reading previous post properly lol... Not sure if it's the same for single eliminations you'd have to ask Fencer.

imsoaddicted: I am almost positive of this. You might want to check all pawns and knights to see if they have 1 slot free.

please tell me if a pawn signs up for a single elimination tournament and has to many games will they not be included and also would that mean the tournament wouldnt take place

gambler104: ok thanks

We need 2 more players for Ludo for the tournament set up by CryMeARiver. Please join if you have brains.

juls31: All tournaments are listed under the tournaments link on the left side of the main page. You can set parameters and search for a certain type of tournament. When you find one, look at the number of games. If it is single elimination, you need 1. If it is one game for each 2 players, you need 5. If it is two games for each 2 players, you need 10.
