emmett: How will it ruin it? He will eventually time on his games against everyone in the section.

Hi emmett.

In 15 days, all his games will have timed out. Assuming he doesn't return.

Did someone say tournament ice cream? I will be first in line!!

Antje:

Groucho: and would the winner of that tournament get ice cream?

Groucho: we'd all have some stiff competition in that tournament

Antje: Yes, and we could have a tournament to see who could eat the most!

Groucho:


Baddessi know's I can't resist ice cream! all it takes is the merest hint of it!

Antje: thanks for the "tournament" laugh!!

I have just launched a chess tournament. Click here to sign up http://brainking.com/es/Tournaments?trg=12247&tri=70286&trnst=0

BIG BAD WOLF: ... And this happens prior to slots being counted for games with enough entries?

Pioneer54: Yes, the system will automaticly delete the games where not enough players sign up.

For a tournament series (such as an 'all games' offering), does this system automatically eliminate those games with less than four entrants before it counts the necessary slots required for the remaining ones?

http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?trg=12232&trnst=0 A fast cube tournament (2100+) for first 5 to sign up

eRiisa's Rook Prize Tourney (Backgammon) has begun. Good luck players!

BIG BAD WOLF: I found and signed up for a few Halma 10 tourneys. To get my feet wet, I'll take you up on setting up a Halma only tournament and see what happens. :)

Dryznik: CLICK HERE for all open tournament for Halma 10x10. (Currently 20 tournaments)

Just go to the tournaments link, an in the "find tournaments" drop down box - choose Halma 10x10 and click show.

Also, as a rook - you are open to create new tournaments. There are no "site tournaments" like on other sites, all tournaments created on BrainKing are created by users. And as a rook, you can also create any new tournament you want also. So if you see something that you think people will sign up for, feel free to start your own. I will be happy to help if you need help in creating your own tournament.

In search of Halma tournaments to join I stumbled upon two ongoing tourneys; I stumbled onto 2 Halma 8X8s, The Hampsters and The Zoo Masters by clicking on 'Player List' then on page 8 and and player 'Stardust'. Where, how, can I easily find such tournaments for Halma 10 (or 8X8s) in an easy way to join? (Without going back to IYT!) The 'tournaments' in the menu column doesn't show ....! Why not a two week or a monthly sign-up tournaments section for Halma players and get something going without a half day's stumbling about and find practically nothing? Brains seem to be lacking on Brainking! ;)

HalfPawn: hello halfpawn.. What part of the world do you reside?

HalfPawn: Hi there :)....you seem to be everywhere...good to see in a new member :)

Espionage championships

I made it for all variants, though. ;-)

Nothingness: I did my best, http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?trg=12181

thanks BG
thanks Baddessi

Congratulations Antje!!!

I have created this weekend's "live" tournaments. These tournaments will start every 4 hours, so that there should be a convenient one for any time zone or lifestyle. Each player will have 1 hour total, for moves. So this tournament will be over within 2 hours. (A bit longer possibly, as the system doesn't check constantly for time outs)

Obviously, all games may not be playable within these time constraints (Anti backgammon, for example), so choose carefully. If there ends up being interest in 2 hour per player alternate tournaments for these longer games, I will start those. Just PM me.

So, any weekend that you have a block of time available and feel like a quick tournament, check out the tournament list and maybe you will find one, convenient for you. Or go to this link to see all my "live" ones in one place:

http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?trnst=0&u=3024


Any game with at least 4 people signed up (maximum 5), will be started at the listed time.

Have fun!

*****************************************

REMINDER!!!
The games will start up to an hour after the closing time!

If you reckon that a chess player is cheating (ie using a computer program), is there any way of avoiding that player in tournaments?

Good grief - Antje won http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?tri=60060

Well done!

Mathematically, there is no way for GuineaPig´s Club & HOME to each finish anywhere other than first place in their respective sections in the current anti-chess team tournament. Why not start round two now? Why make us wait??

Pawnme's favorites
Chess, Loop Chess, Anti Chess, Three Checks Chess, Atomic Chess, Janus Chess, Cylinder Chess, Berolina Chess, Grand Chess, Los Alamos Chess, Czech Checkers, Line4, Spider Line4, Backgammon, Nackgammon, Hyper Backgammon, Reversi 6x6, and Amazons. Lots to choose from. 4 day, standard vacation. Maximum 5 player per section so no one has a whole lot of games starting at once.

Vikings: Ahhh - got it - just had to read ALL the fine print (too much like work) - thanks for your help :)

srnity: the creator of a tounrement is in charge of who he wants in it, he may remove anyone he wants,he may have a good reason that has nothing personal to do with you, sometimes it's because a persons ratings have changed since signing up, in this case it's because you are not a rook, it's writen in the game profile, he just didn't set it up so you couldn't join

Question for whomever - I signed up for a tournie and was "removed from list by creator" - it's acceptable to do that with an open tournie - in other words, to pick who plays and who doesn't???.....

Did everyone see the new Rook Prize Tourney? It starts in a week.

It is important to remember, that after changing the start time on the tournament, there is still another hour before the games are actually started.
