What is it: Checkers and more Checkers with a side order of Checkers.

About a week left to sign up!

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Starting Feb 2nd (Groundhog Day!), is the popular "All games for dummies" tournament!

• All games are here! (except the newest additions)
  
• All games for players rated UNDER 1500
  
• Unrated also can join (but don't join if you are an expert at the game)
  
• GREAT way to learn a new game
  
• GREAT way to play a game without being "killed" by high ranked experts
  
• NOTE #1: Since ratings do change before the tournament starts, I will remove anyone who is way over the 1500 limit
  
• NOTE #2: Pawns & Knights need 5 free game slots for each game
  
• S I G N - U P - H E R E !
  
• ... and as always, have fun!
  

Again, you may see 1 or 2 players who now have a higher rating then 1500 in the tournament. Before the tournament starts, I will remove any player who is WAY over the 1500 BKR limit that way it is fair to all the others who have signed up.

MASTERMIND: I think I've got it now. You're saying that people create multi-nics to enter prize tournies so UE is going to sort them out before the tournies begin?

And the winner of putting up the Prize tournaments are the nics joining them.

Universal Eyes: I didn't successfully parse your sentences, but it seems like you are complaining that more people will sign up for a tournament if it has a prize? Maybe I just need more punctuation, but that sounds naive.

Universal Eyes: Im not offended by your "greed" analogy...but if that is the way you feel stop talking about what you have done and DON'T offer any more prizes.
That would save people from having to decipher your bletherings, and/or feeling offended.

Hello i have created in my fellowships a tournament for every game that Brainking has to offer, with over 200 members and close to it in the others i would figure the numbers would by pilling up,not so, but when i put a prize tournament up it's jumped all over, on that word which i have put up several prize tournaments in the double digits it just shows there is greed involved of some of the fellowship members mainly backgammon players,therefore i will be researching for the next Backgammon prize tournament for the removal of greed.I'm sorry to anyone that is offended by this but it's my opinion and forsite of the benifits of making Brainking even more so the best gamesite on the internet.

Universal Eyes: and if you wait some time, my guess is about 10-15 years, you might even avoid strangling with laughter at the result. currently, translators are only good as a joke

You could buy the book and run it through a scanner to your programs then translate it to English with one simple push of the button.

to Fencer:
Sorry about that. Well, this book is not a top selling one, a translation would not pay at all.

Sumerian: It's a pity there is no English version of the book.

Well I have a 6 player team already...so when we gonna get a hyper team tourny then? ;o)

eagle eye: Once you are signed up, the system will not remove a user if they then change status and is out of the range of a tournament.

Now, it is up to the tournament creator if they want to remove that user before the tournament starts or not.

Grampa AD Loves Backgammon II Tournament

If tournament is only for one Membership level and player which is already subscribed change the level, will that play able to play in that tournament or will be removed before start?
example: http://brainking.com/game/Tournaments?trg=6627&tri=24704&trnst=0

but it also depensd a lot on luck, so snigle games wouldnt be as nice ..

plus the more games the better! (its addicting ;))

But it can only be as fast as the slowest player.

I completely agree,a team tournament for Hypergammon would be great for the site.I think it should be a 3 wins match for each individual player team game, due to the fact that it's a pretty fast paced game to complete.

great game, lots of fun.

Its addicting!!!!!!

**edited for spelling**

HyperGammon is currently the 8th most popular game on the site - not bad for a week.

http://brainking.com/game/Statistics?p=2

Oh, and I vote for a HyperGammon team tournament also! Lets say teams of about 6-7 players - 3-4 days per move

Fencer would it be possible for you to create a hyper team tourney please, so we could try out the new varient as a team :o)

Logistics Man: If it's a tournament then, being a pawn, you can't join another until that tournament is over. Being froglets it could take a while. I hope you're a young man. It's recommended that no-one over 30 starts a tournament involving froglets or anti-backgammon.

If you do want to join another tourney then resign your froglet games and ask Fencer (nicely) to remove you from that tourney.

Logistics Man: If you resign (or play quickly) and all your games in that tourney are over. You can PM Fencer and he will make it so you can enter a new tournament (at least he's done that in the past). Also, if you resign before the second move, the games may not count in your BRK (although I'm not 100% sure about that).

lol, sorry logistics, i found it mildy amusing. i can understand your shock though, read up on teh rules.. and try your best you never know you might find that you actually like the game. Resigning would be a little silly unless you realy dislike the game.

I feel with you... I hate that game... :)
I think I would have resigned them, but it's up to you.

Logistics Man: my advice is to just play the games because even if you resign you cant sign up for another tourney til that one ends so just try to make the most of it

I've just signed up to my first tournament. Being somewhat slow on the uptake, I assumed that I had signed up for Chess....imagine my surprise when confronted with 12 boards, complete with different coloured frogs!! I've no idea what to do!!!!! Should I bulk resign? Your comments and suggestions are welcomed.....but please don't be too hard on me!!!

Congrats to me for winning my own tourney (hehe)

Congratulations to gasper, winner of Nooks and Crannies Freshwater Froglets Tournament.

i vote for starting options as well

lets suppose you start with 10 points for everyone .. then more than 1 player will bet 1 .. which causes a tied bet .. even a tied lowest bet .. which causes more than 1 player to fall into the pond

of course 10 points is a bit extreme, but the same can happen when you start (for example) with 100 points .. especially after a few rounds the lwoer players dont have much choices anymore and there will be some tied lowest bets causing more people to drop in 1 round

Thad: Good thought Thad. I vote for that too!

grenv: Well said.

I'd like to see the starting number and the bonus both be selectable at the start of the run.

that's the bit i don't understand. I guess less granularity would mean more likelyhood of tied bets.

and people would be more likely to bet lower .. so more than 1 player can fall in the pond per round

what's the difference between 20000 and 1000 starting number in poinds? There is no strategic difference, just fewer numbers to choose from. The 500 bonus i guess would be more important?

Make sure you bring your trunks. We'll start when we hit 100 people. It should be a great time. Who's bringing the beer?

p.s. thanks for the cheque. It'll be banked as soon as received....
