SAT JAN 16 @ 4PM EDT (8 PM GMT) we are holding a FREE to enter CRIBBAGE tournament and the winners will get 10 Tickets! This CRIBBAGE tournament is FREE to enter and play in -- it is open for all registered players - whether they have Tickets or not. In the tourney, a Tournament Director (TD) will help instruct new players on how to properly set the game table, and also will go over tourney rules and answer any questions new players might have. The winners of the tournament will get 10 Tickets. You will have a chance to experience the thrill of tourney play, and an opportunity to learn, play and possibly win some extra Tickets. Note: there is a limit of 40 players so if you want to join, please sign up early and be sure to be in the tourney room 10 minutes prior to start so we can go over what needs to be covered. YOU MUST BE PRESENT IN THE ROOM BY 10 MIN BEFORE 4 OR YOU WILL BE OUTED FROM THE TOURNAMENT! All of the Tournament Directors hope to see some of you new players in these special tournaments. The schedule for these free tournaments is as follows: 4 pm Eastern Time - MUST be in the room by 10 min to 4 or will be OUTED from tourney. GIN RUMMY....1st Saturday of each month DOMINOES.....2nd Saturday of each month CRIBBAGE.....3rd Saturday of each month Backgammon...4th Saturday of each month The signup will be available several hours prior to the tournament - JAN 16, 2021. On iPhone & Android devices, our CRIBBAGE app lists upcoming tournaments via Menu->Tournaments. Once the tourney is listed, you can select it, see its list of participants and, (on iPhone) on the bottom, use 'Sign Up'. You can reserve your spot for the tournament earlier via the Desktop at GameColony.com. You will find the 'More tournaments' button on the tournaments page directly above the 4 tournaments that are soonest to be played. Click the down arrow on that and you will see many more tournaments, pending and completed. We hope to see you there!

Bracket

The tourney was set up on 64 person bracket, but limited to 40. You run a great tourney, but 40 makes no sense. Most had a first round bye with dozens locked out. Tourney limits should be 32 or 64. Will reserve spot next time. Thanks



Tourney limits: 40, 64 or 128??

Although brackets allow to create a 64-player tourney (and even a 128 player tournament !!), it becomes really hard for Tournament Directors to maintain orderly play especially when there are newbies in the tourney that need frequent instructions, clarifications and hand-holding... That's why for now we limit tournaments to 40 players even if such full tournament results in some byes in Round#1.



email notice and sign up

Is it possible to begin the signup for Free tourney later in the morning? like 4 hrs later? i received an email at 4 am Pacific time for it, but didnt check it until 8 am. the signup list was full by then. I think the pacific coasters matter, too.

Is there going to be another free tournament coming up? Do you still notify members when one is planned, miss the Jan. 16 free entry tournament?



Pretty Sure

Pretty sure that they have free tournaments in each room once every 4 weeks. Backgammon, Gin, Dominoes and Cribbage all have them and there is a new one each week, so 1 per week different game.



THE NEXT FREE CRIB TOURNEY IS SAT. FEB 20
