Thanks. I'm starting to get into some games now. Like ughaibu says, a list of game types would help. It could only be one link on the Main page, like "Click to browse tournaments in progress by game type" or whatever.

Another thing I find difficult on BrainKing is when I'm reading a reply to a particular message, it's hard to find the message to which it was replying, especially when several conversations are going on at that board. I'm used to having a thread feature, where the computer finds the previous msg in the thread, which could be several days previous. Some people do not check their messages every day. Even if I want to, I might not get the chance to access and internet computer each day.

Checkers Family Holiday Jamboree is now underway. gl to everyone that entered.

Last day for sign ups is Dec.18.
Best of Luck to all participants!
Also,message me for an invite if you'd like to join KM Halma 10x10 fellowship. :-)

ughaibu: Will be done.

New Year Topplayer`s Chess Invitational

Invited players please join ,we start after christmas!

Felix: Any ideas how to make this feature more user-friendly?

WTG Steve!!! learn something new every day!! :)

Click on my link below, then you will see the tourny tables, then click in the position of a game you want to look at(shows as a dash for running games or a 1 or 0 for finished games.)
This can be done on any tourny as far as I know :o)

Every time I log on to view tournaments in progress, I cannot find any to watch. I see messages on this board and on others that seem to indicate that people can view tourneys in progress, but I do not see any instructions anywhere on BrainKing describing how one can look at boards in progress. Is there some big secret here, or is it just me?

We managed a total of 34 entrants to KM & Roses Raiders & ESP Prize Tourny Its now on the go, so good luck to all involved :o)

Open to any and all players.. Hurry.. deadline to sign up is Dec. 15th.. Hope to see you there!

Perhaps it would be clearer if the rounds were at least divided somehow (like with a Horizontal Rule), or possibly even put on seperate pages?

Affirmative.

if THIS is the tournament you are talking about, then mangue is correct - the second round is finished with Rabbitoid the winner!

Please give me a link to that tourney [just reply to the notification message].

You're right. Message fencer on that one, seems a glitch to not have the button to activate the next round.

the second round is finished in tournament 1514. Rabbitoid is the winner.

It looks like 4 sections are complete, each with a winner. I would think they now have to play each other. I don't see any button to activate it.

When you click the link with in the message that tells you all sections are completed, see if there is a second round to start. there will be a button to click if there is.. if there isnt then the tourney is over. Depends on how many entered the tourney,,, Want me to take a look at it for you to verify?

I got a message that all sections were complete and I'm not sure if the next round starts automatically or if I have to do something.

HURRY! THE SPIDERS WEB tourny starts tomorrow!!...its for all players of any ability & it is unrated as its just for fun!

#1) For my "Fast Start Chess Tournaments", since I have found that people are creating multiply accounts, I have removed the option of letting unrated players play in the Chess tournament.

#2) I'm looking for 1-2 more players for the Fast Start Parachute Checkers #1 Tournament. Actually it will probable be the only once since it did not get very many sign ups, but would be nice to start at least this one if I can get at least 1 or 2 more players to join!

Thanks, guys. :-)

Try it now.

You will have to wait till the whole tourny is over. OR once your games are finished and you definately cant go through, message Fencer and he can remove you from the tourny without affecting your bkr etc. Then you will be able to enter another :o)

I am playing in a tourney (Satan's Hellish pente #2) right now and I am a pawn. I have two games left and they are almost complete. I will not win my section in round 1 because I already have two losses and another player has none with only one unfinished game. Will I have to wait for my section to be completed or the whole first round or the whole tournament to be completed before I can enter another tourney?

Thanks,
Thad

Nine people have entered none of who are pawns so if there is just one pawn in there when the tournament begins he/she wins.

How about we keep all our negative thoughts about a certain someone to ourselves?Not trying to dictate or anything but its been nice an peaceful here the past week or two and I know most of us wanna keep it that way, not saying we dont all have negative thoughts about a certain someone but let us all rise to the adults we are and keep the negativity to ourselves.

There is an in-house KM Pente tournament ready for sign up. If you are not a member of KM Pente and would like to be please send me a message for an invite.

okay - after we had some not particulary serious flattery,
we should at least credit that he hasn't been responsible for
any majorly disgusting malfunction latestly. hope it lasts.

Started.
