Sounds like a great idea.

I have had a bit of experience in running both online and live tournaments across various games.

I have a few suggestions.

Use games that have built in timers.

For games that do not, use tournament rules and instead of a time limit the game last X rounds. (I have found in the past players are less likely to drop if the game a ser amount of rounds as turtling and 20 round slug fests cannot occur).

With versions:
1914 has tournament rules and is the most balanced at 6 rounds of play. Bid of around 12 to CP.

Revised with tournament rules from WBC is awesome and again is most balanced at 6 rounds. Bid 3-5 allies.

Anniversary 41 scenario has tournament rules in the works and this would be a great platform for it to be tried and tested. Very excited for these rules.

I am sure there are others but the above I am very confident that they are great options.

Is there any way to change the name of threads manually?

Sure. Just move to the very first posting of the topic, hit “Edit” and change the headline.
This is possible in most forum categories, but not in “Play Boardgames” where edits are never allowed. So type carefully there ;-) . However, you can ask a moderator by pm to edit the title, there.

In that case it is important to send the link to the respective topic and what you want to have corrected there.

@barnee Thanks, it worked

If you have some nifty file link, rule set, strategy links, etc. please PM me and we can coordinate how and where to put your contribution on a stickied for for EVERYONE TO ENJOY.

A section in appropriate forum sections will maintain these files because alot of people ( you really have no idea how many people use these files) can easily access them all in one place.

I suspect alot of members have a specific file or player aid and want to add it to the list.

The ones that already have a special link are covered and were stickied by me a long time ago. So no need to contact me.  If you don’t have your files in a stickied thread, by all means contact me and ill make it so.

Your hard work is greatly appreciated…

Though I noticed that spell check is gone…

…updating the ‘Play’ section so you can actually use it. It’s been down for way too long and needs to be made a top priority. Put new strategy and house rule postings on hold until it is determined whether or not this section can be made functional (I figure that it can be since many other sites have it). If for whatever reason the section can’t be made functional then the section should be deleted and never spoken of again.

I think it would be incredible for this site if they could get the ‘Play’ section working and keep a record of rankings or wins/loses. Then registered players who also post on the site could have 3 things in their description- name, # of posts, and play ranking. This would give a more accurate description of the poster’s playing ability and experience than just having the # of posts.

ZHUKMAN28 SIGINING IN! (OR HALF OF HIM ANYWAY).

Thanks for the chuckles!
