Do to certain players FLOODING my tournaments starting in my fellowship than out to open tournaments & PRIZE tournaments.The PRIZE'S i offered for year end in both my fellowship & BK open are cancelled.All my up coming tournaments will be Prize tournaments only in my fellowship & BK Open

Alls i ask be fare with other's.If not remember the one by one RULE

HAVE FUN & ENJOY all these NEW Tournaments

As old RED said GOD BLESS

Any of my PRIZE Tournaments that you enter in I will say it now.You can end up playing alot games.My THE HIT MAN Tournament at that time loaded some players from 500 to 700 games.

ENJOY & HAVE FUN PLAYING IN ALL MY UP COMING TOURNAMENT"S:)))

As i have only been back for awhile.I see this SITE in a very low mood.

There is only 2 of us supporting this site by holding Prize Tournaments.Other then Memberships

Talk is Cheap

Action is Proof
So lets all of us do so.
Anyone who is a ROOK or higher can create a tournament
Prizes start at 3 eurs & up

You also can buy Brains.
This site will only grow if its member's invest in it.

If you don't have money go out & get a sponsor

There is no end to anything

So lets SEE the PROOF

My BRAINS PRIZE TOURNAMENT is Running I went threw it making BKR within a close range I maybe missed a few.If you got removed it was because of your BKR some games where not filled but to my delight where deleted.

MY ONLY RULE IS PLAY FARE TOURNAMENTS

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THAT ENTERED



HAVE FUN ENJOY ALL THE GAMES YOU ARE IN ::))))

It seems i have a player that got a game while it was in the red going threw the data system I never checked out that game that came to me later oh well fun & games HEY:)))

Pedro Martínez: Yes i no that.But when you remove them they can not sigh back up.if my memory is correct in that game only.:)

coan.net: thanks Coan ive taken that action now

"GERRY": Of course you have to remove them one by one. But there IS a way to "completely ban unwanted players from your tournaments". THAT's what you asked. Just go to the tournament and remove those who you don't want to participate. After that, they won't be allowed to sign (maybe they will sigh) up again.

Pedro Martínez: No you can't & that came from Fencer you must remove them 1 by one

coan.net:thank you for your answer and for enlightened few people here that don;t know yet how Brainking works

I hope i have all my setting's right in all my up coming tournaments.If you are not sighed up in them.at starting date.they will not go into the red.All games not filled will be deleted.All my PAWN'S tournament's will i think:)


HAVE FUN & ENJOY THEM :)))

"GERRY": Ye;s there i;s

Is there a method to completely ban unwanted player's from your tournament's

No you can,t & that came from Fencer
You must remove them 1 by 1

coan.net: Thank you very much it works great.LOL I.ve been away awhile I' am just a little rusty:))))

Just to not only throw in my own option, but also throw in a SOLUTION

My opinion - I don't like big posts - or long post - of information that is repeated or not needed, but everyone has a right to post how they want.

Solution - If you don't like the big print posts or long - next to the persons name is the option to (hide) - if you click this, it will hide this users post on this board.

All kidding aside people This is Fencer,s site.He has put all the toy,s to play with.I f they where not here no body could use them.So let's all quit this bickering.& enjoy this site that Fencer has desighed for us all:))

FrancescoLR: You took the word,s out of my mouth.Here,s some sunglass,s AD LOL i had to go many miles to reply to this:)))

Pedro Martínez: LOL we go back a few year,s we where alway,s joking with each other.Oh by the way this is not the backgammon board:))

"GERRY": Stop that. The most accurate post relating to your person is that of grenv's on the Backgammon board, I'm starting to believe.

As far as TC goes that touranment dosn,t start until Sept.What is that called. Fencer has desighed a tournament list that is where you can go anytime you like.And spend your idle time & go threw them .I enjoy doing that myself.

aaru: Also what goal are you trying to achive by entering in every game in my tournaments that you can ?

aaru: This is the first example of what is done on this board.What is this called.It is alway,s posted here hidding messages

FrancescoLR: We all like a little colour and diversity in our lives, BUT it is getting a bit silly now.

If everyone started doing the same thing it would be ridiculous. I am sure we can have the colour without the large font size.

Snoopy:actually again i disagree this is the board to tell pple who won the tourney .. if i well remember there is a link that all players have that says : tournaments (right after waiting games )
and there are all tournaments going on on the site .... no announcement there ... or i missing something ?
and more ...this is what the title says above of this board :
Please use this board to discuss Tournaments and Team Tournaments, ask
questions and hopefully find the answers you are looking for.
thank you

FrancescoLR IMO : all im saying most ppl read this board to see if theres a tournament they want to sign up to
they couldnt careless about whose won what torunament that they havnt entered and its very tiresome having to scroll down half a mile everyday just to find the upcomming tournament posts

Snoopy:tournament board .. results of tourneis are part of this ... this is not just for announcing tourneis .. anything related to tourney .. even a simple question can be posted in here if is regarding a tourney ....
and still i see Gerry is on the limits about using different font style or size ... or otherwise you and artful should ask Fencer to avoid that feature ....

FrancescoLR: no i agree with AD because i remember the last time Gerry was around and his posts got longer and bigger to the point they took up 3 pages long

and the other point is do we actually need to know whose won i always thought the tournament board was to advertise upcomming tournaments not to have every result posted
maybe there should be a different board for those

"GERRY": Guess they should be short like the ones aaru and TC post.

Artful Dodger: Some people like them.I find those ones that just posted annoying to me.I suggest maybe we should get some reply,s on this if that is ok with you

Snoopy: Yes i agree Thats why i have created a tournament For them only.

nikos: I suggest you check pawns that have brains:)))

Snoopy: I think the tournaments are brain prized right? Pawns do not earn brains...

Gerry,

This is just me.  But if everyone on this board wrote all their announcements as large as you write yours, I wouldn't allow it.  It's unnecessary.  I'm glad you enjoy running tourneys and I like your enthusiasm.  But the large font is getting annoying.  So can you post your messages a bit more consistent with other posts on this board, please.

"GERRY": why do you not allow pawns in tournaments some of the best players on this site are pawns

**************************************************************

I do not allow PAWN,S in any more of my tournaments.So I have made tournaments for all of you to play in.

SO HAVE FUN PLAYING IN THEM

So there could be A PRIZE at year,s
end for a player to WIN

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE:))))

"GERRY": They can enter 3 but will only be allowed to start in one, the other 2 they will get kicked out of

coan.net: I've been here since AUG 2004 & never seen player higher then a pawn.Back to how many tournaments a pawn can enter.You agreed saying 1.& BK rules state 1.But player entered 3.

"GERRY": Could be there were a bishop or higher membership for awhile and had the membership drop back down to a pawn.

coan.net: So how is it this person is in 3 & has 26 started games.I had the same problem with this person 2 or 3 years ago.

"GERRY": Sorry - did not read the question well - Pawns are limited to 1 tournament at a time.

You can read more here: http://brainking.com/en/PaidMembership?p=1

"GERRY": At one time, the "one game for two players" - you would need 5 free slots (NO MATTER HOW MANY GAMES STARTED)

the "two games for two players" - you would need 10 free slots (NO MATTER HOW MANY GAMES STARTED)

So for the above - no matter if only 3 games will start with a 4 player tournament, or 18 games with a 20 player 2for2 tournament - those were how many slots were needed to start.

I'm not sure how many are needed for the single elimination tournaments are needed.

coan.net: So that means if they have slots open.? It's not like other tournaments where they can only go in 1 then.

"GERRY": 20 started games

Can some one tell me how many games a pawn can be in?

Give the dog a bone

No bones for you Snoopy
