World championship BRK 08 in Random Games

All players regardless their membership can enter this tournament

Starting in a few days:

ALL games for dummies(under 1500&unrated) #20

This tournament is for players rated 1500 or under --AND-- unrated players.

This is a GREAT way to learn new games - or play games without being killed by the expert players.

In the next couple of days, I will go through and remove players who are WAY over 1500 to keep it fair for everyone... so don't worry if you see someone rated 2000+, they should be removed here soon.

Good luck to all:

coan.net: Yup, that's right. I abandonned my Anti-Backgammon team for a while because of the big amount of members until the team tournament starts, then I return.

TarantinoFan: Yes, once a team tournament starts - all games will continue until the end (all next rounds will start also) - even if the person leave the fellowship team.

I believe they have to stay on the team until it starts - but once it starts, it will let them leave to join any other fellowship team they want.

So they can leave your team as soon as the tourney starts and go back to their old team to be able to paricipate in f/s challenge matches but their games for your team still continue? I thought that once you were in a game for a f/s you had to stay until the tournament/challenge ended?

If that is the case I will let my team know about it so that any that miss out can participate with another team in the team tourney but still come back to us if they wish to play with us in our f/s challenges.

I do understand your point about multiple teams though. When you think about it it might mean your own f/s playing your own f/s in the last section. And keeping it to one team allows more f/s a chance to participate.

TarantinoFan: There is no guarantee, but it is a pretty safe bet that many of the "unpopular" games will have between 4-6 players, while the more popular games will most likely have between 7-10 players.

So Backgammon, Ludo, Frog Finger, Triple Dice Poker - mostly likely will always be around 8 (give or take a few)

Plus members can always leave and go back to a team after a tournament starts - for example, for Ludo my Private Den fellowship snatched 3 players from another fellowships team to enter the tournament... but I would guess (and welcome) then going back to their original team if they wanted.

- - - - - - - - -

It had been talked about before - possible letting fellowships enter multiple teams, but that might hurt some of the smaller fellowships - that is for example, my Gammon Cube fellowship easily had 25 players on the Backgammon team before the team tournaments started - if I would have been able to enter all of them in multiple teams, a few others fellowships may not have been able to gather teams.

joshi tm: Well that's not fun! Would be great to be able to run 2 teams at a time! And what happens next time there is a team tourney. If you have had to leave players out this time and they go somewhere else just so they can get a game but the next tourney offers more places do you beg them to come back to you?? Is there some guarantee that these team tourneys will always have the same number of team players?

TarantinoFan: Enter the second team, like in football. At this moment you can't but that would be great.

If we have enough members can we enter 2 teams in the team tourneys?

Anti Backgammon Team Tournament :)

NO prize other than bragging rights should you be the final winner for one or more game type. I have created non-prize tourneys in the past so familiar with them, was not familiar with how to create a prize tourney when providing one prize. Very sorry for the confusion happening with the prize tourney I created - should be no such confusion on this one!

Non-prize My December Events Tourney

get the prize tournament I set up set up correctly for one prize being given away. It will either be random between the games showing at this time or will be totally backgammon as that is what the most people have signed up for (majority rules in this case)
