Do you think we can make a forum tournamanet ?
I think if we have it scedual on the tournaments list ppl will know exactly when it will begin and will show up,we can then make it a weakly turney.
This will also do good publicity work to the forum, which btw is not known enough, its not linked enough, whenever i try to find the forum when im not home(away from my favorite list) i have a problem ,i usually try bridgebase.com, and google, and it takes time till i finnaly find it.

Just google for (with the quotes): "bridge base forums". Then you'll find it quick enough :)

The tournament seems interesting, but would it be an individual or pairs tournament? Also, will you allow other players as well, or should they have posted on the forum before they can join?

I think we can begin with pairs and see how it goes, ind is just fine too.
This thing can delevelope maybe we will end up with forum ladder or something.
We can make it forum's only if we have anough players, or open it to public for the last 5 minute. I think what importent is to start it, then we will know better and can change and upgrade it.
about google maybe my google (its an hebrew version that jump in every time i write google.com) is bad because its not finiding it atleast not on the first raws.

Great idea. I like the idea of a forum tournment. And we could add to the requirement, perhaps, an occassional you must have posted at least "x-times", other times, we can just use the registered users name as the include list (some of you don't use your BBO nickname here as your forum name, flame and bglover are examples, so I guess we will have to work around that).

The include so many post requirement would come later to try to drive up post... besides, my favorite partner post here over 700 times, so I think we will qualify.

Encourage the ones you play with to come post here. That is sort of the point of the tourney in the first place. :-)

Maybe the "find partner" forum could be used more frequently now.

Hi,


Maybe a posted on forum in last week include list if thats possible somehow.If only allowed to posters with xx post it kinda discourage new forumusers or maybe some will spam their way to xx posts to be able to play.

Agree with Marc.

Wich hour are you thining off? probably americanmorning, european evening is the most popular, but it nearly rules out asian/australian players.
