BIG BAD WOLF: Really? That's a bizarre way to do things, but I guess it shouldn't surprise me.

This really needs to be stated clearly somewhere in BrainKing's woefully inadequate documentation. Pawns often need to plan their tournament choices carefully, and how are they to do that if they're not even told the requirements for entry?

Harassed: Um...... good question. I have no idea if Elimination tournament require just 1 free slot or not. (I would guess just 1, but that is just a guess - will have to find out the answer to that with Fencer)

But for this Live Ludo Eliminator you need only 1 slot.

BBW: or eliminators need 5 too?

Just to clerify,

If it is a single game tournament, you need 5 free game slots (NO MATTER if you start only 4 games, or up to 7 games - the system only looks for 5 free game slots)

for the 2 games per each player, you need 10 free game slots (NO MATTER if you start only 8 games, or 14 games - the system only looks for 10 free game slots)

Yep. Sorry about that. I understand now, I should've been paying more attention.

forweg: Was it this one? If so, you would have needed at least 12 open slots.

It was something like "Improve Your Rating! All games 1500 and under". Maybe you are right, I'll just try another one...

forweg: Which tournament was it? Maybe one in which you play two games with different colours vs. your opponent?

I don't understand why I was kicked out of a tournament for "not enough slots available". I know for an absolute fact that I had at least six slots open when it started, and it was only going to be a four person tournament anyway. Can someone please explain this further?

Very important: you need to accept the invitation for ALL games!

Stop it, NOW.

Thanks.

CRY ME A RIVER: Now that was a surprise. Such unexpected attack...
The things are clear, the tourney didn't start because 2 pawns were removed who had not enough slots, blame the system, not me, please...
Now you think I am some hacker or something and you attack me on public board, hmmm...

Edit: Now I understand that press monitoring lead. But I had no real conflict with you (THE HIT MAN?) You only put me twice to ignore list without reason.
Personal should be removed from public boards.

furbster: May be some try for a latin word meaning fate.

Chaosu: Just tell me what you need and there is no problem to create a live tournament in time you want.

Despite the tournament creation system is a bit silly, not easy to create a series of tournaments, there is another try:

1
2
3
4

Don't forget pawns need 5 free slots, otherwise the tourney won't start and is deleted with such players removed (would be better if they were removed and the start only shifted forward).
Here is one eliminator, where one slot might be enough I believe:

CRY ME A RIVER: Well, I am going to wait a while and explore my other options with tournaments. I will send you a PM if I have a further interest. Thanks for your quick response and help.

gambler104:I can set one up for you,What game did you want? I don,t think it will go because there has not been much interest in them:)

Is anyone interested in setting up a quick (1 day per move no days off), brains tournament?

anyone may join, youngsters welcome.

Anyone interested in playing in the upcoming Team Tournaments, we still need players to join our teams please.

The 14th tournament for dummies has just started, but for games that did not have at least 4 players, there is a 10 day grace to see if anyone else will sign up.

This tournament is for players rated at 1500 or below, or unrated - and is a great way to try out new games, or play games you love without being killed by "experts" and such.

►ALL games for dummies (under 1500 & unrated) #14 - check it out - some only need 1 more player before it starts. Good Luck!

Hello, Gaming Palace is looking for players for Team Tournaments and also for other tournaments and stairs.

Request membership HERE.

BIG BAD WOLF:Thanks wolf,i didn't relize that was an implement and requested,to start one.

Universal Eyes: With the settings how they are now in the tournament, it will not start.

1st place needs to get at least double the entry fee - and to do that with only 4 players in the tournament, first place would need to be set at 50% - which right now it is set at 35%.

I don't think you are allowed to change any of those settings - but maybe Fencer would be able to change the first place price to 50% of the pot instead of 35%.

jopie2002:Well see

jopie2002: It won't I pulled out,

A WHAM BAMS#89 (Pondside of points!!!) (edit) Creator: Universal Eyes
