Papa Zoom: seems one of the games was never created (the next number is another unrelated game).
That is an easy fix for Fencer. If he doesn't see this here, you could send him a PM. He typically acts on those.

Can this tourney get a kick start or simply be shut down by Fencer? It's stopped somehow. Or is messing with it impossible? Dice Poker Tournament # 4

Heavenrose: There actually is a board especially for birthday wishes. http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=51

winterangels Since the uncertainty of this site a lot of people have not renew their membership which is understandable. There are also many others who would like someone to pay for a membership.
I think you have to accept that you can play in this game site for free albeit limited.

to who the person who took my post down ty i thought it rude to do that once angian ty

Marshmud: They are both tie-breakers. The rule below in SE tournaments, and S-B in regular tourneys. In other words, Thom27 is correct in his original post.

Pedro Martínez: Yes my friend but is that not a BK rule and have nothing to do with the S-B?

Marshmud: This only applies to "single elimination" tournaments.

"Warning! If a normal game ends as a draw, the player with lower BKR would advance to the next round (in case of equal BKRs, the one who didn't start the game - the black player in most games). If you want to avoid such situations, create this tournament with 1 win matches instead."

Marshmud: I don't find a rule anywhere that in case of equal ponts and S-B, the rating decides. But here I found an example of a shared victory in this case. So it seems to be a bug or glitch.

Maybe fencer will find time to fix it.

Thom27: After further investigation I stand behind my original statement. In fact you should of won that tournament.

coan.net: I thought the Sonneborn-Berger system is used to specify an order of players with the same number of points and is based on a theory that points earned with a stronger opponent are more valuable than with a weaker one. So there should be no tie unless both players have the same BKR.

coan.net: The actual S-B total sum has been incorrect for some time but the order has been correct. I was explained in the past that if a tie the lower rated player wins. However I think it was in a prize tournament I ran and fencer paid it out that way. Your correct there is a bug .I've noticed the sum of the S-B total has been incorrect in many of the tournaments I've been in

Marshmud: Actually it does look like a bug, the S-B should be 33 for both. Ratings don't matter for the S-B.

S-B is just you add the points for each win they have.

Each players had 1 win against a player that had 9 points.(x1 = 9 points)
Each player had 2 wins against a player that had 6 points (x2 = 12 points)
Each player had 2 wins against a player that had 4 points (x2 = 8 points)
Each player had 2 wins against a player that had 0 points (x2 = 0 points)
Each player had 2 wins against a player that had 2 points (x2 = 4 points)

So each player should have ended up with a 33 S-B rating.

Thom27: Not necessary. If tosty had a lower bkr when this tournament started (feb 2012) and since you two split your match the player with the lower bkr wins. Both of you also won all your other matches.

Mélusine: Good for you.

In this tournament table the S-B values are wrong. Me and tolsty2002 should have the same value, since we have the same match results.

I don't like slow players but they don't cheat, they just play differently. I'm an optimist, I renewed my subscription.

Carnie: Never mind.

Carnie:

Carnie: Keep playing here as like others have stated there is no definite ending to Brainking in the near future.

Carnie: If you're playing robtoo, the game is almost certainly unrated anyway, so even if you resign it's not gonna cost you any rating points.

Carnie: you have some contradicting asumptions here...

You talk about the end of brainking - there is no defined end, only in the mind of some fatalists. But even if brainking 'ends', then you would not 'time-out', and even if you would, it wouldn't matter anymore. So where is the problem?

Also, there is a resign button at the bottom. Keeps you from timing out, if it is so important for you.

Did you contact your opponent and ask for a draw (or offer a draw in the game)??

Finally, which part of 'Time per move: 7 days' did you not understand when you signed up for the game? It is well known that many players fully use the alloted time; and it has been discussed about a gazillion times in detail here. If you don't want to play that slow, don't sign up for such games.

Hrqls: That makes it easier to remember them both.

crosseyed: it sure is ;0(

ketchuplover: And, on Mothersday, mothers celebrate Mothersday for their mother and love their father too.
