MadMonkey:hmm random games ??? but Ian if someone has never played such games then it will be unfair .. i must give to all players a chance to win and so the game has also to be known by most players even pawns that just join brainking ...

FrancescoLR: Il agree with Pedro, the games here i would say in your case would fall into 3 groups.

Cheversi, Scrambled Eggs, Logik, Amazons, Knight Fight, Ataxx, Assimilation, BB, DBB, BB+, Racing Kings, Jarmo, Mancala, Tank Battle, Camelot etc..... - Involve most skill (dont think you can get software to help, but probably get proved wrong lol)

All Gammons, All Pokers, Dice Chess etc..... - Controlled by Dice, yet still decisions to be made.

Chess, Checkers, Line4 etc..... - Can get software to help you, BUT of course we have some GREAT players that DO NOT use it.

Of course, they are my views, and others would feel different
I guess its totally down to you as the Tournament creator. If it was me personally for such a GREAT PRIZE i would run a Random group Tournament and pick a few games from each section to give everyone a chance

FrancescoLR: How about Camelot, Cheversi or Logic? I doubt there is any software you could use to play these games. :)

Artful Dodger:you very welcome to join the fs and if you win you can do whatever you want :)
actually it will be nice to know wich game should be the mega tourney becuae i havent decided .. i want to give everyone a chance to win ( means : no lines games ,no checkers ,no chess because there are many sofware around and people will probably cheat )
let me know wich game i should use for the mega tourney :)
i would say between the 3 of battleboats and ludo  or ???
open to suggestion :)

FrancescoLR: Very good luck with the tourney!~

Another black rook :) my great friend Aaru :) and soon another one could become a black rook :) more details soon :) a mega tourney with a black rook for first place .. to all members of Yesterday's World fellowship

Gameaddicts end of the year party prize tournament

bobwhoosta: Actually, unless Fencer changed it since he made it so many can join tournaments,

For 1 game per 2 players - it just checks for 5 free game slots (no matter if you only need 3 - or need 10)

For 2 games per 2 players - it just checks for 10 free game slots (no matter if you only need 6 - or need 18)

Again, that is how it use to be.... and I don't remember ever hearing that it changed.

(and of course if you have 10 slots free and 18 games start, you will be 8 games over your limit - which you can play & finish all of them - but can't start anything new until back under the 20 game limit)

bobwhoosta: Yes.

If the maximum number of players per section is 10 in a tournament, and each 2 player pair plays 2 games, one black and one white, does that mean I need 18 available slots in order to be fully confident in playing the tournament???
