Tric Trac Tourno 7 Report

Congratulations to
purpleturtle

Winner of 

TRIC TRAC TOURNO 7

We had a record number of gammons in this Tric Trac Tourno which made the it all very exciting. As I've said before, and as I said to all the players just before we started, to win a Tric Trac Tourno you must pick up gammons or backgammons to win those extra winning points. This does mean that players take risks where they wouldn't usually take risks, but this makes for more open games and therefore more contact. Of the incredible 7 gammons scored (though no backgammons) 2 were won by purpleturtle and another 2 were won by Zoe_K. Combine that with the fact that these two both beat all other comers except for Jenie, who beat them both, and the battle for first place was between Zoe and Purple. Zoe, in the absence of Cassie25, had been running the bar for this Tourno and whereas this might of helped her to her two gammons, it might also have been her downfall as well because she lost by a straight loss to purpleturtle. 

This was the second Tric Trac Tourno run via this new website and it went much smoother than the first. That is not to say I'm totally happy with it all yet. This time I posted up results in the 1600+ Lobby soon after they were sent in, which gave players a better idea of what they should be aiming to win their next match by, but this could be improved yet - I'm working on updating the Standings Page as results come in. The thing that really slows me (as T.D.) down is players not reporting their losses quickly. Some players still seemed to have problems getting into the TTT website to make those reports, a problem I'm looking into, but others had not sussed out how to do this before the TTT started. 

Thanx to all the players who took part and to the spectators who dropped in.
