Why not? I want to choose all games, by and by.

10 x 10 is to long

Why did you choose 10x10? would probably get more join in if 8x8 the normal version

Okay, two new team tournaments have been created.

Very good :-)

How about REVERSED REVENGE?

What about reversi?

Thank you Fencer.
Your Friend Mike.:o)

Hi Fencer.
The Crowns of checkers.:o)

Handling comes at a high price, Bernice, because chatty's blessed with the Midas touch - everything she handles turns to gold.
I'm cursed with the Midas touch in reverse. Everything I handle turns to...well, what cariad is currently shovelling in the stables.

Does anybody have a idea for a name of team tournaments in checkers and reversi? :-D

Ha ha ha... Never assume anything! lol

hahahah Sir Bumble...great sense of humour
but then why would you pay Postage on "handling".....most of us Ladies?? love to be handled hehehehehe

Sorry, chattyknickers, I assumed it was the same as the 'Fun Party Inflatable Sheep' - €19.99.

You forgot to add the post and packing in thet price bumble!!

A dvd of this momentous event is available from chattytelly enterprises, priced €20.
The dvd examines each move in depth in slow motion and action replay.
There is also an interview with chattyfluff during the final game, lthough this does have a 'parental guidance' rating - as does chattypants' victory celebration which includes a somewhat drunken rendition of, 'The Parson and the Farm Girl'.

Thanks TT.. I will look forward to that :)

And thanks LongJohn for running the tourney, i really enjoyed it .... Uil is a great competitor, It was a pleasure playing against them :)

Way to go our Chattytea. I'll have tea ready for you when you get here.

I´ve created new tournament in loop chess. If you want join it here. Limitation is BKR higher than 2000.

bumble!
Thank you for creating the clickable links to the tournaments and letting me know how it is done.
Kevin did it to the ones that I listed on the game board themselves. Makes it lots easier for someone to check it out or join.

Also another thing to watch is that a tournament will not start for a game which does not get at least 4 players signed up. Chess will have no problems, but sometimes the games like Loop Chess may not get 4 players. But there still is plenty of time for someone to signup! :-)

Sure thing! Looking down at a previous post, I think I've already demonstrated my qualifications as a dummy... lol.

Darnit, though! Now I can't decide between Loop Chess and classic. I think I need a few more classic games, so I'll go with that for now... but don't be surprised if I jump to Loop on some early morning when I, once again, haven't gotten enough sleep... or coffee.

;)

Well if you are new here, and still unrated - feel free to join! Glad to have you.

Hmm, Wolfie... I don't think I'm rated over 1500 for any game, really, but it's hard to tell since I'm so new here. But... I have estimated my chess rating at around 1400 elos before... not officially, of course. What would that translate into for BKR's -- do you think it would inflate over 1500 when translated?

*ROFL*

Nevermind. I wound up on another page and completely missed the bantering about vacations here up front. I musta been thinking about IYT or something.

Time for some sleep... or coffee. This Mountain Dew doesn't seem to be helping... :)

If you have any vacation days they are used for every game i believe ..

Okay, I'm having a brain cramp here. I can't seem to remember whether vacation days can be applied to tourneys or not. I'm inclined to say they cannot... seems like I read something to that effect.

Am I right?

Dark Chess Number 3
Extinction Chess Number 3
Gothic Chess Number 1
Yep, added Gothic Chess. It's a good game. Lots of power roaming the board.

Hey! I'm offering a prize in the Dark Chess tournament. Winner, if not me, gets a one year Rook Membership. If I win the tournament, the person that defeated me and finishes highest will get a six month Rook membership or a one year Knight membership their choice. Details on the sign up page. Dang, I still don't know how to make the link, but it's there on the tournament page.

I will post notices on the respective boards now and when the time draws near. Hope to see you there.

I see now, I never thought of people playing at work, I wish I could play games at my job :o(

When the internet first started becoming a common thing, most people had access at work, but not at home. That's why many game sites set up their systems to not timeout over the weekends. I don't think we need implementation like that much anymore, since most people have access from work, home ,and even elsewhere (friends, palm pilots, internet cafes, etc.), but that's generally how it is. Maybe keep it in place for 1 & 3 day move limits, but get rid of it for the longer limits.

Thad

I agree with you grenv but I do not make the rules, If people go away sometimes on the weekends that is what vac. days are for.

actually i was thinking most people have a job during the week! And all you need is to log in once during the day and make a move or three.

The weekends is the time I play the most but I think other people have a life and go out and do things.

what is it about weekends that cause people to be less likely to be able to get to a computer?

ImUpChucKing: If a game were to time out on Satuday and it was Thursday (2 days away) but Saturday and Sunday were days off it would say there was 4 days until it timed out. In other words, days off and vacation days are added to the time left as necessary so the time left actually is the time left until time out.

Quiet day at work, Backoff? lol

Tired of getting down by the big guys ??? This tournament is for those of us rated between 1800 and 2300 to practice vs people of our own level !!! Small sections , 3 days per move. Good luck !!!!

Starting August 5th, is the popular "All games for dummies" tournament!

All games for players rated UNDER 1500

Unrated also can join (but don't join if you are an expert at the game)

Great way to learn a new game

Great way to play a game without being "killed" by high ranked experts

NOTE - Since ratings do change, before the tournament starts, i will remove anyone who is way over the 1500 limit.

S I G N - U P - H E R E !

... and have fun!

Thanks Jason...

So, it seems, that weekends dont just keep you from timing out in a game, but actually stops the time from moving at all? For example, if there are 15 days left to time out, and you have a weekend, there is still 15 days left after the weekend?

Thanks Bwild, great match :o)

Congratulations to Stevie for winning this tourny!!

IMupChucKing if you had a one day tourney you have one day to move untill it get to friday then it moves to three days , so it you have a seven day one i believe it would be nine days before you had to move , so a 21 day tourney most likely is 27 days ;)

Why not an all games team tourney... really keep em hopping :)

Question.... In a 21 day tournament, it does not include the weekends? So it is really a 27 day event? Is that how it works?

Or does the weekend only come into effect at the end, to save them from a time out? Thanks :)

You're certainly keeping big bosses on their toes, Fencer!
Anyone want to play for HOME in this tourney?!

Anyone up for Dark Battleboats team tourney? :-)

Yayy! I now have 3 people for the spider line four tourney!

Anybody else want to play for HOME team? Drop me a line!
