Argomento: Editing tourneys
Hi all. I've set up a couple of tourneys, but i needed to edit one. I wanted to add another game to my Elite games, but i couldn't find the option, so i set up a new tourney just for that game. I also noticed that i could not edit BKR ratings once the tourney was set up. Is this right or have i missed something? Also, what happens if someone BKR rating drops below the required level before the start of the tourney. Do they still get to play or are they eliminated?
Thanks in advance for answering these questions.

All aboard for this blockbuster Backgammon tournament which begins August 27. All are welcome and Seats are unlimited so come one come all and it would be nice for the Backgammon-lovers among us to come out of the woodwork and make this a tournament to remember. Just who IS the best Backgammon expert out there when the pressure is on? Perhaps he/she has never played and is just waiting to discover the game!!! No prisoners will be taken. TNP

This is a reminder for everyone that in about 4 days, the ALL games for dummies (under 1500 & unrated) will be starting.

Details:

This tournament includes ALL games - for players rated below 1500 OR unrated (as long as you are not too good) With the sections limited to only 5 per section, it will only start at the most 4 new games.

So if there are any games you would like to try (but too afraid of losing after 2 moves), or if you would like to play without playing an "expert" that will beat you in 2 moves - here is a perfect chance!

A great way to play & learn & have fun all at the same time!

ALL games for dummies (under 1500 & unrated) - Sign Up Now!

You can remove yourself from a tournament before it is started. After that it is not possible, of course, because the sections would have to be recreated again and it would be too complicated.

You have probably clicked on "My tournaments" link. This page shows only tournaments that you have created (which is nothing because only Brain Rooks can create tournaments).

Argomento: Re: trying to get out
Yes, you have to wait. But there are two other possiblities:
1) Let me know that you've finished all your games. Then I will mark you as "eliminated" and you'll be able to sign up for another tournament.
2) Upgrade your membership. Then you'll be able to play more tournaments at once.

I joined "Crowded in California" in hopes of finding fast games with people in the same time zone. I was wrong. One player make ONE move per WEEK.
I suggest you make it possible for players (eager to play) to remove themselves from tournaments (burdened with players like this one). Thanks for your consideration!

Hey, can someone tell me how to get of a tourney where I finished all my games, yet I am unable to join a new one. Do I really have to wait till everyone's done?? (i.e. close to forever) ?! I resigned 3 games just to be able to join another tourney, yet I'm stuck here it seems. Thanks!!

Argomento: Re: System
I think if you look at the way the sections in tournament are sorted there is some sort of ranking based on BKR.
For example if there are 24 people in a tournament and there are 3 sections. If 3 of those entrants have 2000+ ratings you will find one is put in each section along with if you had 3 under 1000.

Argomento: tournament section setup
I would like to suggest an advancement.

The highest rated player is set to group 1
- the next-highest to group 2 and so roundrobin on.

Such a system would come close to the World Tennis Tour setup
and avoid annoying asymmetries in the first rounds imho ...

Perhaps implementable as option for the tournament creator ... ~*~

Actually I know that Fencer had at least for 1 tournament (the $250 Gothic Chess tournament) made it so the person ranked #1 was in section #1, rank #2 was in section #2, etc...

BUT I don't know if this was just a 1 time thing, if it is random, or some sort of pattern.

Thanks lovelysharon and harley...glad to know I get a message and don't have to keep checking the tournament to see if the first round is complete :~)

19. Luglio 2003, 09:56:48

Thats right, Watson, if you have 2 or more sections you will have at least one more round after the first games are complete. You will get a note in your mailbox saying 'All Sections Completed', you then visit that tournament page and start the next round. Good luck :o)

19. Luglio 2003, 05:55:06
lovelysharon 
what i think happens .. and someone correct me if i am wrong.. is that the next round will be created automatically.... but before the round begins the tournament creater gets a message to start the next round.. and there must be a button somewhere for you to push...

19. Luglio 2003, 05:16:50
Watson 
If I start a tournament that has more than 1 section of players, will it automatically make a another game for the winners of each of those sections so they can play against each other??

19. Luglio 2003, 04:37:41
Kevin 
There are still games remaining in your section - you have to wait for your section to finish before you can join another.

Or, you can message Fencer and he will mark you as eliminated from the tournament so you can join another.

In order for Fencer to get a new server which will enable us to play uninterrupted we are holding a money drive.

We arent asking for alot but if everyone on this site donated just one dollar we could help Fencer get the new server which is needed.

Read more about it on the Brainking board.

Thanks

All the ones that had been created either started or finished by now. Until someone starts another one, there won't be any more :-)

Pioneer: "Eliminated" in only an internal database term and has nothing to do with some real eliminating. It only tells the system that the particular player is free for other tournaments.

Argomento: Re:
Kevin,

Perhaps I should have been more explicit in my quetioning. There are two tournaments (one in keryo19, and one in restricted keryo13) that I have already won and finished all my games. Therefore, I certainly don't want to be eliminated from them! The bad news (for me, at least) is that two other players are still playing their what now amount to irrelevant games. As rules stand now, if I try to enter another tournament of either of these types, I get some message to the effect that I cannot enter because I'm already playing in a tournament (which I have already completed and won)!!?

16. Luglio 2003, 02:47:32
Kevin 
Yes - until your section finishes, and you do not advance. However, as Fencer said with pawns, if you have no mathematical chance to win the section, you can let him know and he will mark you as eliminated so you can join another tournament of the same type.

Argomento: Re: ... last post cont.
It must be a bug, one of the players can not have had a 1800+ rating lately, he won much more games then he lost. I don't think i have to ASK the tournament creator to remove such a player. When creating a 1800+ tourney the creator has to do that automaticly or announce it as a open tournament. I also think that unrated players never can join a 1800+ tournament because they don't have a 1800+ BKR!

NEW TOURNAMENT: ALL games for dummies (under 1500 & unrated)

OK, the new tournament is not actually for dummies - just people who may not be good at certain games.

ALSO are there games on this site you have never tried? Like Tablut or Tank Battle? Well here is a perfect chance to try them because I allow unrated players to join also! (and long as the unrated player is not too good).

Pawns & Knights only need 4 free spaces for each tournament. Tournament to start at the end of July.

To sign up - Check out the Tournament!

Better system will be implemented in the future.
Meanwhile, if it is absolutely clear that the pawn won't advance to the second round and his section is not finished yet, he can contact me and I will mark him as "eliminated" of the tournament, so he'll be able so sign up for another one.

14. Luglio 2003, 17:32:55

Argomento: re: Clarification Please
As it is currently set up, the pawn can NOT join a new tournament until the SECTION they are in is complete. (So if there are many sections, you just have to wait until the one you are in is complete - and you are not the winner)

And in case you are the winner, you will have to wait until the next rounds starts and then completes before you can join a new tournament.

hope this helps!

If a BrainPawn is in a running tournament, has finished all their games in their section, and statistically cannot advance to the next round, can they join a new tournament or must they wait for the tournament to finish despite the fact they can no longer play?

BBW-
I just looked and I think they are actually talking about 1800+ Backgammon tourney Number 10 (1 game each)
created by, um I can't remember this minute by who. Which was 'closed' for signup only 2 days ago but hasn't been started yet. There are indeed 2 players rated under 1800. But either of the scenarios you described could certainly have happened. Though, I also recall a bug in relation to this sort of thing being talked about not too long ago. Maybe this tourney was also created during that time? Don't know if that would make a difference. :-)

13. Luglio 2003, 02:07:48

Argomento: ... last post cont.
And now that I take a look at the tournament you are talking about, that tournament was created AT LEAST 12 days ago - if not more.

So with 2 weeks of playing, my guess is that the lower rated players ratings droped over the past couple of weeks! :-)

13. Luglio 2003, 02:03:33
coan.net 
A couple of things might have happened.

If unrated players are allowed to enter, they may have entered as unrated then got a low rating after signing up.

Or they signed up when the had a rating over 1800, then quickly lost a few games sending their rating down quickly.

WHAT I would do is contact the tournament creator because they can actually kick people out of the tournament, and may want to if they want to keep the "lower rated" players out - then again, the tournament creator might not care. :-)

when i try to sign up for a tournament for players rated over 1800 i have got the message that the max. number of players has signed for this tournament. But....... 2 of the players are rated between 1500 and 1600! Is this a bug in the system?

Argomento: Checkers Tournament
I just wanted to post a reminder that in about 2 days, the ALL Checkers for dummies Tournament will start.

This tournament is for people rated 1500 or below (and unrated players - as long as you are not a very good player).

If you don't know how to play some of the Checker games, this is the perfect time to learn - while others are learning so you won't get beat in 2 moves! :-)

Side Note: Once the tournament starts, I will remove any player who happens to be over 1500 to keep it fair for everyone. (Since some unrated players signed up, then won 4 games and got a high rating.)
