My understanding is that to run tournaments, you need tournament directors. They currently exist in Europe, Australia and the USA. The bulk of tournaments are during North America hours, but if anyone is interested in becoming a TD, send a contact us for an application. I'm sure that Game Colony would appreciate more TD's.

Any VIP player can enter a pay for and enter a tournament that has been scheduled by a TD, for the listed TIX amount. Tournaments are either single elimination (SE) or double elimination (DE). DE tournaments mean you get to play at least twice. Prize payoffs are determined by the TIX amount and the number of players. You can determine that amount on the signup page. Only TD's can schedule a tournament. Most tournaments cost 4-12 tix to enter, with a handful higher than that for high-roller players. Tournaments are routinely scheduled in Cribbage, Backgammon and Gin. You may sign up for them in advance, or just before the TD closes the tournament. If there are not enough players, your entry fee is refunded. Depending on the number of players, payouts are Winner-Take-All (WTA) for 3 players, and over three players at least two winners, sometimes 3 or 4 if more than 9 players. Hope that helps.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
