Why is that confusing? this way more people get to play them ~ pawns included, some of which are very good players and some of which have since become members , so it is good for BrainKing as well as for players. I don't have to name them ~ it's just something I do.
One thing confuses me Nirvana, these tournaments are named after your fellowships right? So how come you do them as general tournaments rather than purely in the fellowshiops?
Are you like me, a fair game-player, but your BKR indicates otherwise? Are you unrated in some games, and just want to HAVE a rating? Would you like to play other people who share your position? Then join this tourney for any game in which your BKR is less than 1700. Set to start on New Year's Day, this tourney is restricted to those whose BKR's are less than 1700 (any game). Even if you have earned a high BKR on some games, and are just working on others, join the ones where your BKR is low! Most importantly... HAVE FUN!!!
Are you just learning how to play some of the games? Have you wanted to try some new games, but were afraid? Well, then, let's learn to play them together!!! And maybe make some new friends along the way. Scheduled to start after Christmas...take a risk...sign up for games you've never tried...and most of all, LET'S HAVE FUN!!!
Also to those who have asked, I will start back up the "Fast Start" tournament after the first of the year (or maybe before if I can get caught up on things.)

only around 3 days left before the team tourney starts
I actually didn't want to play in such a large tournament because i fear i will die of old age before it finishes, that's all.
Actually that's been a problem with all the team tournaments, one slow player means the sections don't finish.
It would be better if at least a match could be decided by winning more than half the games instead of waiting for everything to finish. Until then I will probably not play them.
i didnt look at the section size .. but people said they didnt want to play with teams of 12 persons because they would have to play too many games that way .. that confuses me
The section size also affects the number of games played. Assuming the section size is constant, the number of team players doesn't affect how many games each player playes - it is simply (games against each player) * (teams per section - 1).
the bigger the teams needed the less games people have to play in a team tournament .. isnt it ?
lets say we have 120 players ... which can be either 10 teams of 12 players or 20 teams of 6 players
the 10 teams of 12 players let all 12 players of each team play against the corresponding player of all other teams .. giving 9 games per player in a team
for the 20 teams of 6 players this would mean 19 games per player in a team
Please try it now. You should be able to join another team of the same game type, even if the team tournament is still running. But you cannot do it if the current tournament is in the "sign up" status, just to avoid joining more than one team for the same tourney.
Well, if players are allowed to leave a team (on the fellowship page) after the corresponding team tournament is started and join another team for another team tournament, it should solve this problem in the easiest way.
Stevie - but if you have a fellowship that could easily enter 2 teams of 5 for Backgammon - why not? rather than players either not playing or transferring to other fellowships (like what has happened this BG tournament). If they cant raise two teams - they enter one.
I can see what you say bumble, but to start creating even more fellowships will create more problems for those who are members of lots as it is (the 'Wombats' one being for a good reason of course).
I just think there should and could be an easier way around something like this. As it is some big boss's are struggling to fill team tournaments as much as they have fellowship members wanting to play, BUT to have such a high target set to be able to enter does not seem right for some of the fellowhips. Alot (even the larger ones) can not as much as would like to get a team together, unless it is Backgommon of course LOL.
MM: We had a problem in 'Wombats' recently. We wanted to enter a team but the big boss, cariad, was in hospital and the deadline was fast approaching. rhiannon started her own fellowship and invited all the members of 'Wombats' so that we could get a team together.
As it turned out cariad was able to enter a 'Wombats' team and rhiannon another team, so in effect 'Wombats' had two teams.
Of course, that isn't practical for a large fellowship but the option of someone creating a new fellowship just to enter a tourney is there.
I see no reason really why a fellowship can not have 2 teams and players decide which one to sign up for. If they have enough for 2 teams, then both can enter. I think this was suggested a few days ago.
(Cacher) Si vous voulez jouer une partie contre un adversaire d'un niveau équivalent au votre, vous pouvez définir un BKR compris dans un intervalle lors de la création d'une nouvelle partie. Dès lors, personne ayant un BKR en dehors de cet intervalle ne pourra y accéder. (Katechka) (Montrer toutes les astuces)
