Fencer: so even the tournament owner does not get the profits? Or is this more like an admin fee because I assume there is a lot of manual work on your part to dish out the winnings

SafariGal: Nothing. They disappear.

Entry fee (in Brains): 50 Brains
Final position prizes (%): 1: 50%, 2: 15%, 3: 5%

I see a lot of these being run. What happens to the remaining 30% of the brains used to enter the tournament?

CRY ME A RIVER: apparently it is a small problem and Fencer is looking into it....I notice that some ponds games are 5-6 DAYS over so he obviously isnt in a hurry to fix it or it is a bigger problem than he originally thought....I wouldnt bother him with it, just let him fix it at his own pace :)

CRY ME A RIVER: set one up again, and announce it on brainking board or somewhere mor epeople look at...

since nobody signed up, i deleted it when i went online and forgot to delete the post..

tiv noi: I wanna play a live backgammon tonight, but your link isnt very helpful!

if you'd like to play a live tournament, sign up whatever game you wanna play, let's see which games fill up and get started

Cry Me A River: What one year membership are you talking about?

Starts April 29th

3 day time limit standard vacation

2006 Second Quarter Open Number 4 Extinction Chess

Thad: i had this problem wich probably will never be solved but you tell Fencer to look at the game ( my concern is only checkers and if i have a minimum doubt of cheating i will go compare the moves of my opponents with the softwares around and then report the player) :)

If I suspect that a player is cheating (using software to play way above his BKR) in a prize tournament, what would be the proper course of action?

In Honour of World No Sock Day, 12th May

Have fun!

Do you play Chinese Chess?
Do you have a Xiangqi-BKR below 1800?
Do you want to win a 1-Year-Rook-Membership?

Then this is the right tournament for you! Just join and try to be the best - the winner takes it all!

In order to keep the competition within the targeted rating range, three special rules will be enforced:

- No unrated players!
- Players whose BKR goes over 1799 until the start of the tournament will be removed!
- Players whose highest published BKR has been 1900 or above will be removed!

Groeneveld: I believe he is saying there are small fast tournaments, with few people, because some of the larger ones last too long because of people moving too slow in them.

francescolr:

can't understand a word ,
please explain yourself

francescolr: You better believe that because of slow players and Auto vacation.There is Tournaments here that will go on forever.Its to bad there are people out to ruin it for others.

Groeneveld: i sign all tourney i believe is that if they do so is because there are tourney that never end because of slow players so they make fast tourney :)
