I like to play, one of my favourite card games. Does anyone know of a good free online site to play against each other? Would anyone be interested in playing?
this is all I have found so far, problem is unlike the Chess one we have to be online at the same time to play, it doesn't seem very busy either which could be a good thing.
aahhhh reminds me of me Dad............was the last man to win the trophy at the Corner Pin in Crayford before it changed hands........jesus, I can't remember the proper name of the pub???? It's the one on the corner of Bexley Lane & Crayford Road. The Bear & Ragged had the trophy in there for a bit........gawd knows where it is now.
My uncle Rob Toogood sells cribbage boards In his shop Compendia in Greenwich market if anyone needs one. He is two shops down from big Charlton fan Mick Gebbit's shop Hide All.
will suggest that to the guy that runs the site though.... he is very approachable
how would we wanna do the tourney?
the Americans favour a system where everyone plays 9 games (against 9 different opponents). You get 2 points for a win and 3 for a skunk. Games won is the first decider if points are tied, then points spread (like goal difference:)
alternatively, we could do a knock-out system.... like best of 3 or best of 5 head to head......but that would mean people play less games before being out (and only one opponent)....and would be less easy to get an even playing field (it would be ok if we got 8 or 16 or 32 players...but any other numbers and some people get byes)

in the absence of a proper site that helps you set up tourneys we could just post match ups on here, with a kind of deadline. People then go into ecribbage and play at their leisure, then post results back in here
alternatively we could arrange to all meet same time/same place in ecribbage and battle it out all in one session
both would work ok
and I'm happy to help out in getting it all set up... I love this stuff
I am usually busy sorting out the poker so would prefer it if someone else like yourself would arrange the tournament in cribbage, personally I prefer the league style tournament
for 9-game tournament style, we could actually get it done in about 2 - 2.5 hours on the same day
...or...we could do it slowly over a week or so
we couldn't do it all in one night/day as many people on here have demanding jobs and don't have that much free time, also we have to consider other factors such as time differences. best thing I think is to ask how many people interested in playing a tournament and then try and work out convenient times etc.
may I also cheekily add as you said you like poker check out the CL poker schedule :-))
for now...I'd be much more into getting a CL Cribbage tourney going....even as a one-off (at first)..... time differences need not be an insurmountable obstacle.....
but.....you are right...much easier for people if it is spread out over time (the only danger then is that some people don't play it through to a finish)
