Well I am a regular gin tourney player, so choices will have to be made  But I really would like to see tournaments back in the BG hall. Doesn't GC have a historical formula for starting and interesting new players to join. I think nothing more than $5 until it catches on. And definitely during prime time playing. I really miss them! Thanx

I find it interesting that you will see tix players sitting and waiting for games in which there are hundreds of tix at stake, and yet none of those players will play in a $3tix tournament? Cribbage and Gin are not like that.
4pm and 9pm worked before

They used to have BG tournaments regularly at 4pm and 9 pm with format either 3 pts CR or 2pts ND for both S/E and D/E. Try 3 or 4 tix for now until the volume increses. Even one per day is better than none.
IF these times are consistent good chance players will plan to play in them once established.

So even though we are talking about a full year later, I am excited and thankful to GC for bringing back tournament play in the Backgammon Hall. Huge thank you's need to go to the ever-present team of TD's for their diligence. But one newbee TD - DeDe - gets the lion's share of the appreciation for her effervescent and contagiously friendly personality!!!

These are abbreviations we use when creating tournaments.
SE = Single Elimination
DE = Double Elimination
CR = Crawford Rule
ND = No Double
Please let us know if you have any other questions!

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
