Subject: Team Tournaments
There are 6 new team tournaments that will be starting at the first of the year.

  • Backgammon Race - Hasn't been a team tournament since a LONG time ago.
  • Halma 10x10 - 30th most active game, and never had a TT before
  • Ludo - One of the more popular games - a bigger 10 player team
  • Cloning Backgammon - had a few requests for a non-cubed TT
  • Triple Dice Poker - Another more popular game, and a bigger 10 player team
  • Atomic Chess - Been a long time since one for this game.

    So run to your favourite fellowship and get ready your teams. Set to start at the first of the year, after all the fun holidays.

    WellyWales: As MadMonkey said, it should not happen..... but there are probable ways that it might happen. If you see it, you should let Fencer know right away - or at least the Captain of the team they are not suppose to be on to remove them from their team.... since it will hurt them the most if they are removed after the tournament starts and they play all their games down 1 player with an automatic lose and such.

    You mean, playing for an old Backgammon Team (for example), leaving it while Tournament is still running, and join a new Tournament that is about to start

    Why doesn't a tournament page show the current score of the match instead of a useless dash?

    coan.net:  Ahhh.  That's good to know.  I just checked by setting up a test tourney and it did give me the option of making all the positions the same random configuration or making each game different.  So I can assume that either selection will result in the same kind of tourney:  a different random position for each game.

    Papa: Actually now that I think about it, I'm 100% sure that it is fixed - since I remember when Fencer introduced the game, the first tournament had all the same boards - and I quickly had Fencer delete that tournament & games - he fixed it so it would not even pay attention to that setting, and every one since that is random for each game - ignoring that setting.

    trohat:  I hadn't even thought of that.  I just went with the default settings except for the time and vacations.  But BBW is probably right that the positions will all be different random configurations.

    Subject: Re: Frog Finder! Thanksgiving Bash Rook Prze Tourney
    trohat: Even though that setting says that, for certain games (Like Frog Finder), it is NOT the same board - no matter what that setting says.

    That setting is mostly for the random-placed chess games, the volcanoes on the espionage games - and black spaces on pah-tuh and such.

    The Frog Finder should always be random from board to board.

    A set of team tournaments is set to start in about a week.

    After they start, I will make a set of new ones (to start around the 1st of the year.)

    I have a few in mind, but if you have any ideas or suggestions on what kind of site team tournaments you would like to see - PLEASE send me a private message and let me know - any suggestions - games, time frames, team sizes, even tournament names. If you could send it in a private message, then if I don't use it this time - I can archive the suggestions and hopefully use them at some point.

    aNiMaL.: I like Frog Finder

    Plus after 12,000+ games, it is very even for player 1 and player 2

    Red - won 6118 games (49.93% of games)
    Blue - won 6109 games (49.85% of games)

    You can't get much closer to an evenly matched game.

    When running a tourney, which games offer more even chances for the most people? For example, if one were to run a prize tourney, chess would eliminate a lot of people (as would games like Pente etc) because of its highly skilled aspects. Games like Dice chess offer a bit more equality but perhaps are too much on the chance end of it. What do others think?
