TarantinoFan: hmmmmmmmmmmm......good question. I believe it uses a day for every game missed, but I could be wrong about that- anyone else out there know how to explain this better?
Sometimes, paying members have many games going at once, and it's hard to keep up, but if you send them a PM and ask them to move, most times they will. It certainly can't hurt to ask.

baddessi: I don't understand exactly how that works but I went and had a look. They have 23 days left so does that mean that I could be waiting for the next 23 days or should I divide that by four or more ie: does he lose a day for every game he misses or does he only lose one day at a time?

TarantinoFan: they are using a feature called "automatic vacation"

I am in my first ever tourney

ALL games for dummies (under 1500 & unrated) #10

and one player has not made a single move. My main page keeps telling me that they will run out of time but every time they do it resets and gives them another day! Why??

Thank you I guess I will be more patient. But again thank you for the information.

mrloupcity: Yes, back to your corner you go. Your last post was back in March. What are you thinking? This is tantamount to spamming!

Lady Temper: Hiya and welcome to BK. I see if u win ur last 2 games U still will not move to next round. So if u would like to get into another tourney with shorter time to move. Just forfeit ur last 2 games and ask Fencer the BIG BOSS for the site to remove u. If I remember right he can do that for U. Oops forgot back to my corner to hide.
:o{P

For those like me, that like chess, but aren't very good :o)

Or perhaps you would like to try playing a few games you haven't tried before.

BKR up to 1000, unrated players allowed if not too good a player

Thanks

Lady Temper: New timing settings have been added to BrainKing, so tournaments in the future should not have this problem, but I don't think there's much you can do now but wait it out.

Lady Temper: There must be over 50 games still to be played in there. There's only a few left in your section but the whole first round still has a while to go.

The player i think you are talking about still has 18 vacation days left

I am in a tournament where all my games are done except one (2with same person) and it has been dragging on. They are using automatic vacation to make their moves. I am new here but shouldn't there be a limit as to how long they can do this? Does not seem fair that they can drag a game out like that. (not judging just asking)

Jason:
Thank you.

no you will be able to play any second rounds /finals even if you have all your slots full , however you wont be able to start/accept any more games untull below your limit

If my membership expires, and i have a round 2 of a tournament start, do i forfeit the games if i have insufficient space?

Thanks.

It's my Darlings birthday

OK, so no one has to worry about being up all night... I made i a one section tournament only, so there will not be 2 sections. This is meant to be a fast tourney, so lets get it on!

BIG BAD WOLF: Oh! Thanks BBW.....
NOw I dont know what to do... maybe I will amke the sections bigger, can I change that anytime I want to?

Czuch Chuckers:


First, it is a 2 hour limit - meaning up to 4 hours of playing (2 hours for each player).

And don't forget to let players know if 6 or more players join the tournament, there will be multiply sections - meaning if you win a section, you will have another 1 hour wait from when the first round is complete, then up to an additional 4 hours for the 2nd round to play.

Why do people sign up for fast quickie games and then make them last for ever, can't they read?

nobleheart: nice idea .. i have done this before with some people from ireland and greece when the euro coins were just made and i missed only a few from those countries

i always take coins with me from my holiday trips .. i love them :)

Grim Reaper: The option is only there when you first set up the tournament. Once the tournament is setup, you can not go back and change the days off settings.

When setting up a new tournament, you will be given 3 choices:

standard vacation
fixed weekend only
no days off

where is the setting so that you can make it a "vacationless" tournament?

OK... in my quick players club backgammon open 1
http://brainking.com/game/Tournaments?tri=46946

I was looking at the players who havent finished any games yet, and noticed that some have only made like 3 moves oin any one game so far, and there is one person who was playing along in a game until they find they will lose and now has refused to make their next turn.

know that nobody has broken the game paramaters, but you are breaking the spirit of the tournament. These are supposed to be fast games making many moves per day if they are waiting for your next move. know we are not always able to play super fast ( I was just away for the weekend myself) But if you are online I expect you to play your games in this tournament , and not to purposly stall.

If this continues you will be banned from any future tournaments of this type.

PLease dont ruin it for those of us who truely want a faster tournament. Thanks!
