Team Tournaments - 3 days until Backgammon starts, and none to get ready for

mella2000: If i am understanding you correctly, you have to be a member of a Fellowship to enter one of there Tournaments, so yes they are private to that Fellowship.

The easy way to find out if a Tournament is, when you click onto a Tournaments, look below....

These are the top few lines from a Tournament in my Fellowship, notice the Fellowship name

Random 'LINES' Elimination (2)
Tournament starts 30th Nov
3 Day, Standard Vacation
Fellowship: Monkeys Swinging Madhouse
Match type: Normal game
Tournament type (?): single elimination

In a open Tournament, there is no name

January All Games under 1500
Match type: Normal game
Tournament type (?): one game for each two players

coan.net: still no lines of action (OR any variant) again

Madmonkeys 'Other Game' Selection (2) - LUDO

WINNER: fanciann

coan.net: That is the reason i posted it here, to try and get more people involved. In fact i may have a think about posting Team Tournaments (maybe the next 1 or 2) in the section above. That can't hurt and may help.

Hopefully Fencer will build in BK 3.0 the possibility of a Fellowship entering more than one Team in future, that would create some great fun and rivalry even within a Fellowship

coan.net: You are presuming these players wish to play for another Fellowship of course ??

I for one do not, but i have always said that those who do not get in a Team are free to play for anyone they wish, it is there choice. In fact 2 of the players left the Turkish Fellowship Team to play in the Madhouse one.

The Fellowships you mention have ample players in them to form Teams.

It seems crazy we need 6 players to play in a Turkish Checkers Tournament, yet only 5 to play in the Plakoto one

I love Team Tournaments, and i take pride in some great Teams we have in the Madhouse and we enter virtually EVERY Team Tournament, whether we stand a chance or not. We did not even have a Turkish Checkers Team until the Tournament was released. I had never taken an interest in the game until then, so with Tutagil's help i tried to learn it.

I am in lots of Fellowships and play in there Tournaments, BUT myself, i rarely play for any other Fellowships in Teams.

Pedro Martínez: If you bothered to look you would see I am in my Madhouse Team for Turkish Checkers, just not good enough to get on the Team

Where are all the Checkers players

10-09-28 Turkish Checkers Only 2 Teams so far

http://brainking.com/en/TeamTournaments

can we have some more please, take time to get Teams sorted

Snoopy: I will sign the Madhouse up in a couple of days

Still need at least one more Team though

Down to just 2 Team Tournaments left to start

Can we have some more to get ready for please

Universal Eyes: Just looking at the Tournament they are in already, if you wait a couple of weeks, i would say it will be impossible for them to qualify, THEN you can contact Fencer and he would normally let them enter another Tournament

Universal Eyes: Must be because the Knight in your Team is already playing in a Team Tournaments HERE for the One Fellowship

If i remember right Knights & Bishops can only play in one Team Tournament at a time.

talen314: Could you check the Anti-Froglet link, it goes to a different Tournament

I would love to join, like the game, i am just crap at it lol

rod03801: Really, never knew that, i thought people were always told to make sure they had enough spaces..... unless maybe that was at the start of a Tournament. I guess once you are started and you qualify you must carry on

thisbeme: As Snoopy said you have won your section (although there is still a game to finish), you have won all your games.

The winners of each section will then go through to play in Round 2 (still 2 games in section 1 to finish as well, although that as well is decided).

Save yourself 6 game places for the next Round

If you had lost your section, then Fencer would have removed you so you could join another Tournament like Bernice said, but i do not think he will remove you after winning. Though there is a clear second place.

Good to find Lines of Acion players here (and its variants of course), its an awesome game.

If you get bored send me an invite to any of the 4 variants

Bwild: Its an Elimination one lol

I guess what you mean is all the single players
As there was not 32 players entered when the Tournament had to start, there were Byes put in OR to put it another way, there was 17 players signed up, so to get it to 16 (so Elimination will work properly) one qualifying game has to be played

It took us ages to get Fencer to allow Byes, BUT if he had not that Tournament and loads of others would never start

Artful Dodger: lol

pedestrian: There is no automatic way of doing it built into the system, although people do run such Tournaments and work the points out themselves

It has been brought up before, though it is not on my list to give to Fencer, so i will add it now

troydaniels: From what i can see the Tournament is a Single Elimination, so only ONE game will be played win, lose or draw. In the event of a draw the player with the lower BKR is classed as the winner

Babe68: It is a strange problem

One Tournament has started, but not the other.........if you do not hear from Fencer today, post a note on the BrainKing.com Board

coan.net: I think i am playing most those 33 lol

I still think Team Tournaments are the way forward on BrainKing. It gives you that extra incentive to win, and its great to be part of a winning Team

Great to see we have 5 Teams now taking part in Nov 2009 Meow Cheshire Cat Lines of Action Team Tournament

I htink Lines of Action and its variants are some of the best games here, easy to learn, hard to be good at

Artful Dodger: No Lines of Action (or variant) But i will have a go at a couple

Nov 2009 Meow Cheshire Cat Lines of Action Team Tournament starts at the weekend

Need ONE more Team at least so it can begin

Madmonkeys 'Gammon' Stakes (6) - Backgammon Race - fanciann

coan.net: True, maybe there should be a tick box in the Prize setup ie. Brains or Membership etc..

People should know what they are playing for

coan.net: One thing, i guess Fencer MUST know as the prize has been provided

Only 3 days before the TEAM Anti-Line4 Tournament starts - The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents

Only 2 Teams entered so far..... Only 5 players in a Team needed to enter

"GERRY": to all of us

Imsoaddicted: Yep, even worse was my Captain has vanished from BrainKing as well, so that made it worse

Clandestine 1: This is already on Fencers list, hopefully it will be part of BrainKing 3.0

I have just had a Team Tournament start, yet one of the player has not been here for a week, and is already timing in in normal games. Even though they have not made a move in this Team Tournament i can do nothing about it, so ALL those games are lost. Hence, the Tournament is lost already, and a waste of time for the others involved. It would be worse if any players were Knights / Bishops, they would be stuck there

coan.net: Yep.....a MUST in the new BrainKing

Would of been nice to know about that Poll before, but it does look like a yes

Imsoaddicted: The Tournament you mention i 100% agree about.

Is what is annoying, although there is still a game to finish, there is NO reason the next round can not start, as this last game will NOT effect who goes through to the next round.

This should be sorted in ALL Tournamnets so to speed them up

Anyone fancy a fast Massacre ?

Its a Massacre 1

First 5 play, 1 day, no days off, start when full

Resher: ahhh see, i am not just a pretty Chimp

Resher: Have you created Teams for them in the Fellowship ?

Dice Chess 10x10 (part 2) - Dice Chess 10x10 - cd power

Dolittle: I know you are most sociable , you are already a black Rook anyway. Still u could always win it for me lol

"GERRY": lol, does not bother me at all, i only joined to answer your question

"GERRY": Well i have just joined one of your Tournaments and you have me blocked (who knows why ? and who cares anyway ? lol) so i guess Snoopy is correct

Dolittle: True littleone, but then as lots of people join Fellowships and never take an active role in them i would say it was worth the joining

"GERRY": Of course he has a choice. As it is by invite only it does not have to be in a Fellowship. He invites who ever he wishes to play

Dice Chess 10x10 (part 2)

First 5 play :)

First 5 play.....

Dice Chess 10x10

"GERRY": OK enough

Snoopy was just pointing out that what Marshmud was saying, is that there are many Members here who provide prizes for tournaments in Fellowships but do not go about the site telling everyone.

The same as there are many here who pay for others memberships etc... some people just like to do it privately.

FrancescoLR: We all like a little colour and diversity in our lives, BUT it is getting a bit silly now.

If everyone started doing the same thing it would be ridiculous. I am sure we can have the colour without the large font size.

Anyone fancy a game or more of Racing Kings, i think its great

It makes you think, but its quick and very addicting

(any invites 1-2 days is fine)

MadMonkey: Hurryyyyyyyy, one more player needed

Fast Racing Kings 1
First 5 play
