Subiectul: Groundhog Day Dummies #7

SORRY - I messed up the last tournament, did not set the correct settings, so I had to remove that one and start up this new one. So if you are one of the few that signed up for the previous tournament, PLEASE go and sign up again. Sorry for the trouble.

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

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

All games are here!
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!

Subiectul: Answers to queries

Remove a fellowship? OK, I guess that would explain that. Why they'd do that must be a story in itself.

A bug in the switch over, eh? Perhaps the year 2K+5 virus has popped up? If that's the case, I'm sure that it's being worked on.

Thank you for the updates Skyking and MidnightMcMedic.

Team7 I think was the Red Squarrel Team which the Fellowship was removed from site by Big Boss and Fencer

Subiectul: Extinction Chess team tournament chart

I have a couple of questions concerning this tournament.
1) What happened to team #7?
2) What happened to the statistics page of individual players?

It's your tourny, do what you would like, if you are worried about their feelings, you could pm them and explain

31. Decembrie 2004, 02:04:01

Jason

if you stated at the time that you created the tourney that there was a limit of 2000 bkr then you have the right to remove any players over the limit .

Don't bother, Bernice. OldDear has been booted.

Im going to ask another question that will upset OldDear again but then who cares

If someone has surpassed the 2000max that I stipulate for a tourney may i remove that person or ask that they remove themselves. I know it isnt their fault that they have won the last 5 games they have played therefore greatly improving their score, but there was a reason for the 2000...can anyone advise me what would be the correct thing to do? I dont want to upset this person unduly :(

Subiectul: Re: Number of concurrent games

troydaniels: 10 is correct. (Even though you may start up to 14 games to take you over your limit), the computer only checks for 10 free spaces to start.

If it was only one game for each two players, you would only need 5 free spaces.

Subiectul: Re: Number of concurrent games

Subiectul: Number of concurrent games

I'm signed up for a tournament of this type:

Tournament type (?): two games (switched colors) for each two players
Maximum number of players per section: 8

How many free slots do I need when the game starts? Would it be 14, since there's (probably) seven people other than me in the section, and I'd be playing two games with each of them? Is there someplace where this is explained?
