Thanks for the inputs so far!

talen314: Yes, I had something like that in mind when I talked about a way to ‘work around’ the current system. But I’d still prefer a tournament when you played all the selected game types against the same opponents. From a sporting point of view, that would be the fairest way to find the tournament winner.

MadMonkey: Thanks for putting the suggestion on your list! I get the impression that Fencer has plenty to do with the upgrade he’s working on, but maybe a different system for tournament creation is part of that too – who knows?

An additional problem is the ‘match type’ used for the different games. It would be nice if that could be set separately for each game type. One of the game types in a brainking decathlon could be a backgammon match using the cube, but I think you’d have to set that up as a separate tournament in the current system.

I suppose an invitational tournament would make most sense, to make sure that everyone is playing all the games. But I’ll probably wait and see how tournaments work in the new Brainking 3.0 before I decide what to do.

pedestrian:

Along a similar line to what you propose is something like this. The tournament could be decided solely on the basis of which player scores the most points for all games played in the tournament as a whole.  One advantage is that more individual game tournaments might get started on time since in order to win it would be the total won games and not won tournaments that would decide the issue making it necessary to play more games.

pedestrian: I would love to play in a tournament such as this.

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

pedestrian: It is an interesting thought.I would be interested in signing up to such tournaments.

Not sure if this belongs here or in the ‘feature requests’ forum, but here goes:

I think it would be interesting to organize a tournament similar to decathlon in athletics. Each two opponents would have to play ten (or a different number) of pre-defined game types against each other, and the accumulated score in all game types would decide who qualifies for the next round.

Apparently, this can’t be done in the current tournament structure (correct me if I’m wrong). So, I wonder if there is a practical way to work around it, for instance by starting tournaments in each game type and then calculate the overall winner manually; or (preferably), if an option could be implemented in Brainking 3.0 to create tournaments with multiple game types.

I’m considering buying a brain rook membership to set up a tournament like this, but I’d appreciate any input from more experienced tournament creators before I start.
