I see it ended the 24th...did ya close it?

Yep!

speedy 6 by 6? one

Why can't I start my 6x6 Tourney? I'm stuck!

fantastic..... ;-)

Bry: This and more improvements are in a development process :-)

There is a tourney for players with 1600 and above ratings - the "Premier" 5 in a line tourney. If you are good enough, please can you sign up, so it is a great tourney.
Cheers,

Bry.

Fencer, Can you arrange something where as well as being able to start a tourney, we can adjust the settings within it, for example, - you can set the group stages so the top two players qualify from each group, meaning more of a chance for players who are unfortunate and are drawn with a top player in their group?. It would make it more interesting for the players in the group stages, even if they lose their first two games against the aforementioned opponent knowing they could still qualify.
Cheers,
Bry.

Hi everyone. I have set up a backgammon Race tournament, sign up and have some fun! :-)

No, i think it is good this way. Just checking :-)

thank you very much...was worrying about that:)

Emma: The restriction is applied for the first round only. You will be able to play the second round :-)

Fencer...I just won my first round in the First Brain King Tourney in Anti Reversi...well waiting for my opponent from the other game...thought I should check something out...do I have to have a certain number of spaces free to play in the next round???Or am I still able to play if I have 20 games going??? Just want to make sure:)

Kevin: The restriction is currently applied only when you want to sign up [the sign up link will appear for you or not]. Once you are in, it is not considered.
Should I improve it?

you are very welcome eddie, and if you wouldn't have kept sending your games back to me, I wouldn't have made it there :)

If there is a tournament with a rating restriction, and you are currently above the lower limit, but by the time it starts your rating is below the lower limit. Will you still be able to play? (same applies for upper limit)
Thanks!

for having more moves than me now your name is stuck on the main page haha....i was a close second haha

Thanks Debi and Molly..It has been on a 2 min refresh. Today it is a little better. Must be the weather. lol 37F this morning in Florida. For us thats cold..
I do get the white showing up quite a bit. Especially at G/T. I have called Msn for many things, but this they haven't been able to correct. I have used the webtv reload and it comes back, usually.

I have created a new tournament for all people interested. Please go to the tournament page and sign up if you like! :-) Good luck to all who sign up! It will start at the beginning of February.

Thanks, Fencer.

Barb,
Most of the time with webtv, this is a 'refresh problem'. Go to your settings and be sure that you have '2 minutes' set as your refresh time. If not, then this is likely your problem.
Debi

ruby: Yes :-)

I am new to this site - will my moves come to my mainpage automatically when this tourney starts? Ruby2shoes

Joe: Once you start it, the tournament maintains itself with no assistance :-) Only if it creates more than one section for one game type, you will be asked to start the second round. But it will happen after weeks/months.

I am considering starting a tourney...just wondering what i have to do once it actually starts if anything at all. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Joe

for brain pawns that want a free 6 mo brain knight membership...and an invite to join noodleland fellowship.... molly and eddie invite any brain pawn with less than 1600 ratin in reversi 6 by 6 to join..sign up by feb 1st...good luck and please play fair and have fun!

I am on a web and no problems here other then the screen going blank sometimes when I click on next game

I am  wondering if any of you are on webtv. I would like to know if while playing a game the board rolls. I try to make a play and it either rolls up or down. I am constantly trying to control the board. Thanks to anyone that can help. Hope I'm not on the wrong board for this. Haven't been able to look it all over yet. BARB

yes you did good job..

lmao! so I named it a good name then eddie? seeing as it took me three tries!!! hahahaha

its workin now rose....good job..

I apologize to anyone who tried to enter my first tourney for 10X10 reversi.. i mucked it up.. But I think I have it right now... please if you tried to sign up.. could you sign up again !! Thank you!!!!

Thanks. I've upgraded to Brain Rook today.

Of course! I should have thought of that! Phew, glad it wasn't something I did!! Thanks!

hrlqns: The players who dropped out didn't have enough empty slots for your tournament, most likely. I know that the tournament creator and affected players should be notified about it, I'll add the notification ASAP.

I'm not quite sure what happened when I started this tourney!
There were 16 player signed up, I started it off and there were only 14! I'm not sure if 2 players dropped out at the last second, or the counter was wrong or if I lost 2 players in starting it!
If you signed up then found yourself not listed I'm terribly sorry, I've no idea what happened or how to check on it. :o(
Good luck to everyone else though :o)

It's nearly 4am here. To celebrate not having fallen asleep yet, I have created yet another tourney... No rush to join up for pawns, you have until February 7th. Agree with the guys here, fantastic site.... no time for sleep or work anymore :0)

i agree with the both of you...this site rockss....hell if it could add music for when we play we can say it rock and rolls...

Thank you Rose. However, it's not the FIRST tourney, but I guess it's the first player organized tourney. :)
I agree with you Rosie...this site Rocks!

Just wanted to send a high-five and congrats to Stingeroni for starting the First offical tourney here at BK!! man this sites rocks!

Hi again! :o) Im sorry I dont think Im going to have enough space in time to join the tourney this time :o( (unless some of my players would like to finish a game off now!? :oD) Hopefully will join in the next one lol xx

Mike: That's right. I've just updated the description.

I don't think it is clear from the Brain Rook membership description that they have no tournament restrictions.

Yes, that's exactly how Eddie writes. If you are a Brain Knight and you are curretly playing e.g. Reversi 6x6 tournament, you can join another tournament but of some different game type - for example Reversi 8x8 etc. Only Brain Rooks have no tournament restrictions.
I think that everybody who decided to pay for a higher level read carefully all advantages for the level and what is supported for even higher levels only.

clive go to paid membership it says that for brain knights they can join only one tourney for each game type...he has this set up for people to have different levels of membership...if you have only so many games to play with your level of membership ya cant just sign up for every tourney..its tough but its fair..upgrade to brain rook and you have no limits..i know that might not be easy but wanted to let ya know...

I think Rose has a very valid point. Having paid my membership, I find the highly restricted number of Tournaments you can play at any one time to be extremely unfair!

Fencer or anyone else who knows this.. Is it correct to say that you can never join any new tournaments until the ones you are in are completed? I tried to enter eddies... it said:
You cannot join this tournament because you are already playing First official BrainKing.com tournament (Reversi 6x6). Your Brain Knight membership level allows you to play only one tournament per game type. You can sign up for another tournament after the previous one is finished.


will it always be set up like this?

Not at all Stingeroni, my toes aren't squashed in the slightest!! Maybe we should have an ultimate match between the winner of your tourney and the winner of mine?! Could be interesting!

The tournaments with possible prizes, how about, just having them for a certain BKR. Those with ratings 1900-2100, then another for people with ratings 900-1200. And so on.. if its only brains up for grabs people would be less likely to cheat than if it was for a membership anyway.
Are there enough people in each rating bracket to do that?
What I'm thinking is those with lower ratings would stand more of a chance of winning, and if they suddenly excelled in a game it could be looked at and you could tell if there was any cheating going on! Theres probably a major flaw in that idea I haven't thought of!! Hey, what do you expect off the top of my head!!

i didnt think about that with chess ddint realize people would do that but nothin surprises me..maybe once a month picl one game other than chess like ya said and try it with that...maybe a trial tourney?hhmnn see how it goes...
