Happy New Year!!!!

Dear Gamecolony.com gamers,

I want to wish all of you a great and prosperous New Year!  I am very grateful for my family and friends, for my Gamecolony family and all Admins, TDs and players.  I am a very lucky girl indeed!!!!
We are planning to add dominoes to our lineup of iPad/iPhone apps.  THere will be  some major improvements in all games.  And, yes  the 30 sec-per-move in tourneys will be automatic!!!

May 2014 only bring good things to all of you,

New Round Robin tournament is now offered at www.gamecolony.com

Gamecolony created a new Round Robin tournament type that has nothing to do with swiss tournament type.
It has its own good-looking table that everyone will recognize instantly.
Round Robin has no rounds per se which will help to speed up the tourney as there is no waiting involved.

Some details about Round Robin:

1. Everyone plays everyone else and TDs (tournament directors) assign '1' point for a win & '0' for a loss 
2. If players decide to split a game (e.g. for 1st place) for some reason, Round Robin allows TDs to give them each 1/2 point  (same 1/2 point is given for a draw e.g. in chess) 
3. Players abandoning a tourney in mid-tourney get '0' for every non-played game but retain the number of previous points & are still eligible for prizes 
4. Since everyone plays everyone else, there's rarely any need to wait for some other game to complete. Free players who have not yet played, can play each other 
5. there are NO tie-breaks: players getting the same number of points & eligible for prizes split places and prizes. For example, if 3 top players in a tourney get the same number of points, they will all split the 1st place and get 1/3 of the prize fund 

Swiss tourneys will be tested by our wonderful TDs  before being released for general use.  Stay tuned!!!!!

Happy holidays!
