Good point. In this case 8 would be more than enough. LOL (bad pun)
:o)

I would like everyone who is playing to submit the information, just to make sure there are not two of the same information. I think the multiple player per household is really just one way the strongest player in that household would try and circumvent the issue, so the family should elect one player only.

How would everyone feel, for example, if my family of 8 would participate with me?

:)

My addy and name are known to Fencer - that should be sufficient ... ~*~

So do people like me (who has about 0.05% chance of winning a section) have to worry about this?

Would 3 people from the same household (same address, same pc) be eligible to enter? Perhaps "one prize per household" should be a rule.

Someone called to my attention the fact that it would be easy to create multiple pawn IDs and increase one's chances of winning a section prize. So, in order to participate in the event, please send an email to GothicChessInfo@aol.com with the following information:

1. Your full name (checks to winners will only be paid out to what you send)
2. Your complete mailing address
3. Your ID that you will be using.

Before you win any money, you will also be required to submit your social security number for tax purposes. THIS WILL ONLY BE ASKED OF THOSE WHO ACTUALLY HAVE WON PRIZE MONEY. You will receive the appropriate tax schedule from us to sign and return prior to getting your check. Do yourself a favor and claim your winnings as income if you are a United States citizen!

The address provided is the only one we will send checks to.

If there are any screen names that have not registered the information prior to the start of the tournament, they will be removed from the event.

This is the only way I know of to insure that only one person is using one screen name.

Please pass this word to all you know who are in the tournament.

Fortress Fortune - one player missing
Janus' Eyes - two players missing

Now no longer mucking about -
To the weapons, Pawns ... Be a Knight ... :) ~*~

Congratulations neznalek, well done. :o)

The KM Invitational Corner Checkers tournament starts in a week. Not many people know how to play so don't be afraid to give it a try. Message me for an invite.

I hope things improve Jason. Let us know when you can take new games since most of my tournaments are by invite.

sorry but i have had to remove myself from about half a dozen Tournaments , due to me overstreching myself with the amount of games i already have , i am having problems trying to finish the games i have already (partly due to site problems) just thought i would leave a message here nothing personal . i will re sign back up if the situation changes
*jason*

I think he just has the "trapped pawn" problem. Pawns check into tournaments, but they don't check out :)

nothing serious...
Just waiting...
:)

What's the problem here? Could you be more specific?

I'm still involved in my first ever tourney here...
I think I ld still be playing this for awhile.. :)

I am still involved with the first tourney, and only tourney I have ever played in here, you do not have a legitimate beef. I am all for you returning to IYT, I hear it is a great place

excellent question

how can something you are not paying for be a rip off?

Backgammon CHAMPIONSHIP Invitational (1-10) - This is a tournament set up for the winners of the first 10 "fast start - first 5" backgammon tournaments that I have.

Well not all the games are played yet, but enough are played to determin the winner of the Backgammon CHAMPIONSHIP Invitational (1-10) tournament - and the winner is: neznalek

BBW (BIG BAD WOLF)

Is it possible to get out of a tournament after it has started, but before I have made any moves, without affecting my bkr? Thanks :)

C'mon guys - I know it was my fault to assume 15 players to be
no problem of resembling, Chess-Variants do not hurt I tl ya ... :D

the tournaments below will stay yet open until sunday, but then
sadly I'll have to close them to avoid idle chaining of pawns ...

in that case the Janus Tourney will be restarted as soon as
Fencer's is finished - maybe two simultaneously are too much yet ...


Fortress Fortune
Janus' Eyes

Entré - entré - voulons nous se rassembler ... :P ... (lil lure-poem) ... ~*~

No comment ;oÞ

Ill have to do it then, cos on our old ships, Rats are a problem LOL
Thanks Bumble :o)

That's okay, Steve. Just deposit €250,000 in my bank account by Monday - or the ship's cat gets it. lol

Good luck with your tournament!

I have seen Bumble has already done what I was thinking about, so thanks bumble, copied you LOL

There are now 5 sections set up to distinguish once and for all, who has the best Navy. Please sign up, I have added a section for the KM's cos we know they have a competitive edge to them and have their own fellowship for the boats :o) Good luck and have fun :o)

OK Thanks for help :o) ,
Ill have to rethink about how I can do what I wanna do then :o)
BTW chatty, I weren't gonna cheat, it was all in the name of fun :o) But then you know I aint no nasty anyways LOL

no, sorry steve you cannot set up who plays who! no cheating that way! Lol...

A quick question on tournies.
When setting one up, does the BK site select randomly who will play in sections, or can the person setting it up, organise that fully too?

Canadian, Australian, New Zealand etc, backgammon players to enter the 'Rest of the World' section of 'Bumble's World Tour'!

Hi all, does anyone know how far off we are from having these inter fellowship tournies? :o)

I use this opportunity to summon a strong *Hurray*
in praise of Erika and shaggath who made it as first
to win their 50th tournament at brainking ! good job, guys ~*~ :)

On a lighter note how about a Checkers Tournament with 3 move opening play? That would be nice

Hurray Danoschek!!!! Congrats to a terrific fellow. :o)

Congrats to Danoschek for winning the VERY FAST PENTE Tournament ! 1 Day (Small Pente)

I hope the results with be posted as the match finishes.

to klaashaas for winning my prize Reversi 10x10 Tourney, now the owner of a 1 year Brain Knight Subscription!

Well Played!

The strongest Gothic Chess tournament of all time is currently underway. All of the top 25 players on this site were invited, of which 16 accepted, and 1 was ineligible to play as a BrainPawn without enough vacancies.

Previously there were posts in this section from a certain player who indicated his own superior play as the reason for being barred from another event.

This player was given multiple invitations to the King of the Hill, none of which were accepted. The tournament is starting without him.

There is no need to reply to this post. It is provided here for informational purposes only.

I'd like to point out that the Rest of the World section of 'Bumble's World Tour' - backgammon, is for players not included in the other categories (UK, Europe and USA).
Players from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South America etc etc are especially welcome to join the fun in the Rest of the World section.

Thank you..Fencer.

Try it now.

I have finished my tourniments and tried to join another one.. It tells me I can't because there are some that aren't finished.So is there anyway that I can join another one?
