Tournament action

[MikeA]

Well, here's one that the software should be able to handle already!  Schedule a VP tournament where all players are on a level playing field.Heck, I guess you could just turn it into a Guaranteed Play type game where everyone plays exactly the same number of hands (maybe 1,000 to give the odds a little bit of a chance to come into play).  The prize would be bragging rights.Now, watch WB decide to do this and then pick a game of which I know none of the strategy <LOL>

Did you click on the "contests" tab in the beta center to see what was to come there?

[MikeA]

Well, I knew we were to have one-on-one challenges but didn't recall full blown tournaments.  That would be fun.

[Webman]

Yes, there will be both types of challenges in the final release.
 


And I also forgot to thank you for the feedback.  It's confirmation that we're coming up with features everyone will enjoy.

Tournaments sound great!

Tournaments will be wonderful on this site.
 
Hopefully we will be able to set the number of hands for the tourneys.  Maybe it will have a one-million hand maximum!!

It's almost "tournament" now.  The Challenges I mean.  They are driven by a selected and agreed upon number of hands.  Nice thing is that you don't have to play at the same time!  You "challenge" someone and once they've accepted (you can see at the bottom of the column where the scores are while you are playing the beta games when they do accept the Challenge.  At that time, you can go ahead and select your game on the machine of choice and knock yourself out!  Yesterday, I issued a challenge and it was accepted but I got a phone call and had to respond to the call.  It was at least 2 hours later before I was able to get back to the site here.  When I finally played out my hands, it showed me my results and the results of my opponent. Good stuff!
