Tournaments are run daily on channel 49 on the server. Currently there are 54 Tournament managers who actively setting up and maintaining the tournaments. Mamer managers ready to assist you will have the designation '(TM)' behind their handles. Tournaments are announced in cshouts, and channel tells to FICS channel 49. There are regularly scheduled Mamer events (tournaments) that include long and short time variables. Use the command "help motd", which is our "Message of the Day" to find information on these and other regularly scheduled events.
If you want to play in a Mamer tournament, we suggest the following:
(1) Type "+channel 49" to join the Mamer channel.
(2) If there is a tournament being announced that you want to join, type "tell mamer join #", where # is the tourney number, and play the matches to which you are assigned.
(3) Type "tell mamer listtourneys" and look for tourneys with a status of "open". Then, the command "tell mamer join #" to join that tourney.
For more details about Mamer and special Mamer commands, read the Mamer help files; for newbies, we suggest you print out the file "help mamer". You can list Mamer's commands and a brief summary of their usage by typing "tell mamer showcommands". You can see a list of mamer's help files with "tell mamer help". Printing out these commands prior to tournament play is suggested. Also, don't forget, if you are having any trouble, please ask a manager for help, and don't be afraid to let them know you are new to this.
