Clandestine 1: if the alternates are listed before the tournament has started

Imsoaddicted: It would also help if teams were allowed to have "alternates" that the captain can substitute in the event that they lose a person due to the long drawn out tournaments.

coan.net: well if i counted right theres 64 team tournaments already running
so surely a line has to be drawn somewhere
ppl lose interest in them esp myself
because who knows what im going to be doing in 18 months time
and im sure more knights and bishops would join teams if they knew in advance they wont have to wait x amount of years for something to finish

Imsoaddicted: On the face, it sounds "good" to wait until it is finished before starting new ones, but if you think about it - 99% of the players no longer are able to play - so it might be good to start a new one so everyone can play again.

Of course the real solution would be for Fencer to program it so next rounds (like in this one) could start since we already know which teams will win.... WITHOUT waiting for all the game to be completed. Having that in there won't help every situation (since sometimes the slow games are the ones that will decide who will win), but will help out a lot and would be very welcomed if Fencer could put that in the "new BrainKing".

coan.net: yes i know you've been really good at sorting the problems out
but take this one Jan 2008 Clone Wars
started over 18 months ago that's waiting for one game to finish and move on
and i see that one team will be at a disadvantage because of the long wait has one of there players left the site over a year ago

what im trying to say wouldn't it be better to finish the ones we have before starting more
it just seems really stupid to be in something for 18 months or longer and still waiting for it to move on

or wait until the new version of BK is released

of course you could have team tournaments with 20 teams in one section players would get a few extra games but on the other hand
once they finished there games that would be it they wouldnt have to sit around for another year or more for it to move on

Imsoaddicted: Well we have "slowed" down in making them - I know for myself, I usually only make 4 a month (where I use to make 5-6 a month) - plus of course always try to spread it out to games which haven't had a team tournament for awhile - and spread it around to different types (like 1 chess, 1 lines, 1 gammon, etc...) that way hopefully at least one of them will be liked by someone who may not play many types of games.

Plus I've been trying to make a few "no days off" and now Fischer clock games & the gammon tournaments set to use autopass - so I'm trying to do things to help speed up the tournaments.

..... plus I always take suggestions if anyone has any (on type of game, time per move, etc...) - best to send it to my private message to I can more easily keep track of it.

coan.net: thanks i must of missed that poll

has you know im always under the impression that we have to many anyway esp when they seem to take years to get to next round and then you find half your team has left the site but thats just my input

Imsoaddicted: Well Tanein created THIS POLL awhile back which is suppose to end in about 9 hours about weather people wanted August team tournaments, and looks to be a yes - so possible she might be creating some here soon.

We usually take turns - each of us creating them every other month..... so I will probable create some September ones sometime after my "last batch" of team tournaments start.

any new team tournaments has theres only 2 to start and none after a week on Sunday?

or are we having a Summer break from them

DeaD man WalkiN: i would redo it and take it off private invite just let it fill up itself

you can always keep watching to see if theres someone you dont want in there and remove them
and just keep putting the start date back untill it fills which it will do pretty smartish if it isnt on private IMO

and keep posting the link on here that helps alot ive found

DeaD man WalkiN: There were some tournaments with prize for paws, bishops and brainknights only (like tournament of Francesco, Nirvana and Emelin), so now many people are playing those tournaments and cannot join your tournament, i guess.

Talk with Fencer to open some exceptions for your tournaments or try create it more later or i don't know lol.

DeaD man WalkiN: It's limited so a lot of people can't join.  Plus many pawns might be maxed out on their games so can't fit in the tourney.  I think you need to make the sections smaller so that pawns will play fewer people.  And I'd open it up to rooks.  ;)  If you do that, you will fill it up quick! 

DeaD man WalkiN: OK guess I will just stop my tourney cause people don't want to join in. Thxs people.
