anastasia: except for the team tournaments, which are organized by Fencer, you would have to keep track like you've been doing in your fellowship

Anyone who knows better than me - feel free to correct me here

At least till I think of more,lol....if I get a team together..how do I play other fellowships???

anastasia: No, you cannot pair people up yourself using the brainking tournament system. You have to do all that with regular games and call it a tournament (as you seem to be doing)

And your opponent timing out doesn't help your BKR if they time out in the first 2 moves...

As some of you knw that post here,in my fellowship I have a guys V gals tourney going but the guys had to send an invite out to the girls.Is it possible when I set up tourneys to pair the people up myself or not? I don't seem to think I can do it but thought I would ask anyways. btw...when a certain person times out agianst me,it just helps my rating,lol

mrloupcity: Regardless... a public board is not the place to bash someone. Especially if you don't know for sure that something "crooked" is going on!

but hey. now I'm off topic.. :-)

I need 3 more spider line 4 players...

MidnightMcMedic: He timed out on all my games too....but it doesn't bother me. There is probably a good explanation and couldn't be helped. I think most of us have had times like that before.

Do you have proff of this?

I really think that CameronsDad should be removed from every tourney they enter. If they only going to make 2 move then time out just so they don't lose any BKR then why let them play.

MsDelete good win in the tournament: ..Backgammon & Hyper 2100+ First 8 (Backgammon)

This is a prize tournament my husband and I are proud to endorse. Luck to everybody.

Boy did i learn my lesson to look at the length of time per move.... 21 days - when actually used - makes for a looooong tourney....

furbster: I think you should be able to have a random tournament for all lines games, for example, and exclude anyone with over a 2000bkr, for example....

Perhaps we eventually get BKR's for randomness?

I'm not really sure how that works, with the BKR. I guess you'd have to ask Fencer on that one.

I am actually thinking that there is probably no need to give the creator any option to control the BKR level in random tournaments. (At least in it's present incarnation.)

furbster: So when you do a random tournament with several different games and a BKR limit, then the bkr limit would be required for all the games included, I guess?

For example if I am over 2000 bkr in one line game and under in all other line games and I want a random tournament for all lines games for under 2000 bkr, then I would not be eligaBLE TO PLAY IN ANY OF THE GAMES?

Also, since you made it a Random tourney, I believe there is no way for your BKR constraints to be automatically checked by the system.

Right, the creator decides the "pool" of games that the random games are generated from.

Czuch Chuckers: it is for spider line 4, yes, it'll still work.. but theres nothing random about it thats all, because whatever happens you'll get spider line 4. However if you'd of put spider linetris in there too, you could of got either spider line 4 OR spider linetris.

Mr. Shumway: So the tournament I set up is not even for spider line 4?

Czuch Chuckers: Yes, the game type is randomly defined for each match).

Does random mean you dont know what game you are going to play?

furbster: My bad... I hadnt really thought it out, and my first reaction was that random meant that the draw for who you are going to play is a random draw, I guess i was wrong!

rod03801: lol, your not missing nothing, at least i don't think you are. Bit strange reall;y, although i've seen somebody do it with extinction chess too. Maybe we're both missing the obvious?

Czuch Chuckers: Ok.. this is probably a dumb question, but how can it be a random tournament with only 1 game (Spider Line 4)? I am sure I am missing something.. lol..

Spider Line 4 under 2000 bkr single elimination random generated 2 games wins match 2 day moves first 8 people starts it!

Congratulations Rex Nihilo,

Thanks to all other players!

Pioneer54: Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but if they are like the tournaments we already had, they can not be deleted once started.

Pioneer54: *theme from Twilight Zone fills the room*

*waits patiently for answer*

What would happen if an elimination tournament was deleted but some events in it had already started? Would everything disappear as if it had never been created, or would just those games not yet begun be deleted?

Congratulations SunFire,

Thanks to all other players!

BIG BAD WOLF: Thanks! I did do that but nothing happened, it has now,
I did not now about the Fencer approval bit.

wellywales: There is an "Edit" next to the tournament name which will let you change the tournament name & description - and start date and other little things like that.

Once you submit it, it has to be approve by Fencer before the change happens - which is usually pretty quick.

Mr. Shumway: Thanks for that......and how do I change a spelling mistake in the title

wellywales: You need to check them all to make sure you REALLY want to delete the tournament!

What do the 4 squares next to Delete Tournament mean

Czuch Chuckers: Nobody is forced to play it ;)

Another question: Where are wins of Random game tourneys mentioned? Wins of "normal" tournaments: -->finished games -->column "WT"

I was just looking at a brain tournament...

150 brains to enter, and you have to get 2nd place to win your 150 brains back.

Plus 30% of the brains entry fee doesnt go back into the prize pool?????

Can someone tell me what sense these brain tournaments make? Am I missing something here? I mean especially in non luck games where anyone is free to use a program, that makes them even less sense to me?
