gringo: i agree with gringo :) many tourneis should be stopped and maybe games not considered but this could be only when there is only 1 organizer of tourney ib believe :)

Fencer: Fencer, one question: why do tournaments still wait for the very last game to be ended even if the two players don't have a chance to succeed?

francescolr: Single elimination will be added in February, double elimination sometimes later.

Fencer: another thing is that this will remand to that tourney u were talking about : kind of single elimination(that is why 2 pple per section ) or (as used in other sites) a kind of double elimination ( lets say i play 1 game with you and another vs someone else and i lost both games i am out of tourney) what u think ? :)

francescolr: I mean this kind of a tournament is not programmed yet, that's why such tournament cannot be created now. But I plan to implement it.

Fencer: what u mean ? and 1 more thing : wich native pple for translation are u looking for ?

francescolr: It must be implemented first, of course.

Fencer: how i do that then ? and it is also possible to do 2 players per section ?

francescolr: Yes, it could be done.

i have question : it is possible to create a tourney with different kind of games for the same tourney ? (exemple i wanna do a tourney where each player must play 2 games of hypergammon 2 games of battleboats and 2 games of go mokuand combine the points ) ?

Here is a last minute tournament starting tomorrow in the evening for those who love to connect 4 stones :)

ScarletRose: Thanks!!

She is the winner of my Backgammon "Scarlets Springtime Follies".

Congratulations on games well played.

Hi Gammon Lover Friends,

Wouldn't be well to prepare some gammon tourneys for the BKR rated faster players? Wouldn't be well to see the best players of 10% ?

The 10% is, counts of 1/10 any type Gammon Games. For example, Brainking has today 934 players for Backgammon. 1/10 is 94 players, from first to 94. rated players, everyone has right to join to all type Gammon Games!

I prepared so Invitational Tournament for the beginning, for all type Gammon Games.

I invited to this tournament, all inside of top 10% of the any type Gammon players (Back, Nack, Crowded, Race, Hyper, Anti) who have established BKRs.

We don't wish the games in the tournament without end and preferred Fischer Clock!!!

Match type: 3 points match with doubling cube
Tournament type: one game for each two players
Maximum number of players per section: 8
Final match type for two player section: 3 points match with doubling cube
Time control: Time: 1 day, Bonus: 3 hours, Limit: 10 days, no days off (red signed)

Don't be afraid of Fischer Clock!

(That means after beginning you have 1 day (24 hours) for your first move. Per your another move, you'll have 3 hours bonus for your other move time. 10 days is limit time for the opponents.) Read more at: http://brainking.com/en/FAQ?ht=24

If you think that you are inside the 10% of rated players any one of Gammon Games and did not get any invite from me, please write me if you wish to join the tournament, I send your invite. Dead time for joining requests is: 2 hours before the tournament starts!

With your join to this tourney, hope to play good matches and enjoy!

Thank you!

Thanks for your participation

new JT I.

Thad: Well I do not think we need to calcuate how many gammon cubed tournaments there are, but since what I have seen is that gammon tournaments with a cube are less popular then lets say a gammon tournament without the cube, I would think that a majority of cubed gammon tournaments only have 1 section. (under 8 players)

Not saying that makes it any less important of an issue since even if a few tournaments are calulated wrong and someone is unable to move to the next round in a tournament is too many in my opinion.

BIG BAD WOLF: Is it probable that there are multiple rounds in most tournaments? I would say that there are probably are, or maybe not. Let's multiply some numbers together and calculate the probability.

fungame: I did not think about it as being a first round of multiply rounds, so you are correct - that would be a problem.

For anyone who enjoys a face paced tourney.. Please.. I wish to offer it to those who will play continuously.. not just one turn a day ..

nobody25 for winning my hyper backgammon tourney

BIG BAD WOLF: well, but when next round starts and different players advance than using normal rules, I am really wondering how can this be fixed later...

gringo: Well when new things are programmed (tournaments with cube), sometimes things like this happens.

Normally what Fencer does is when he does fix something like this, he will go back and "fix" all past tournaments so I'm sure that it will be fixed sooner or later - probable just not a top priority.

BIG BAD WOLF: anyway, this is awful and shouldn't happen.

arpa: Yea, it was pointed out awhile back that tournaments which use the cube are not caluclated corretly - I think I posted on this board what I found out.

I'm not sure if anyone had told Fencer, or posted it in the Bug tracker yet. But I think Fencer is planning a big update to the tournament code, so he may just be waiting until that happens to fix it all at that time.

this S-B calculation are INCORRECT !!
http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?tri=70406





S-B calculation:

arpa: 1x3(diogenes)+1x0(UzzyLady)+1x2(lunedith)+0x2(Cha
rolais)= 5

diogenes: 0x3(arpa)+1x0(UzzyLady)+1x2(lunedith)+1x2(Charola
is)= 4

UzzyLady: 0x3(arpa)+0x3(diogenes)+0x2(lunedith)+0x2(Charola
is)= 0

lunedith: 0x3(arpa)+0x3(diogenes)+1x0(UzzyLady)+1x2(Charola
is)= 2

Charolais: 1x3(arpa)+0x3(diogenes)+1x0(UzzyLady)+0x2(lunedit
h)= 3

FINAL ORDER
1) arpa 3 points and 5 points (S-B)
2) diogenes 3 points and 4 points (S-B)
3) Charolais 2 points and 4 points (S-B)
4) lunedith 2 points and 2 points (S-B)
5) UzzyLady 0 points and 0 points (S-B)

Only for justice.

JMDLOVESNirvana: I believe in the past players have had monetary prizes.. but, that money has to be collected by Fencer first.. before the tourney will start..

Anyone know if you can put up amounts of money for prizes in tournaments or is it just limited to winning memberships?
