Sieges and Private Tourys

I can't seem to start a Private tourny nor can I get involved in a siege game. Am I missing something obvious?

You must have 6 members in your clan to start a private tournament.

When you join a siege it can often takes months for you to get to the board. That is the best way I can phrase it.

what are sieges and how do you join them

First you need to subscribe. Then go to the siege page and join the queues for the boards you like the look of. It's good fun. I'm holding two boards at the moment.

from what i understand the stars mark players a members but ome of the players under the siege link at the top don't have stars dosn't this mean you don't have to pay to siege

Unfortunately not. That player must have joined the queue before his subscription ran out.

draws count as a successful defence.

if you draw and your whites you win the table,so yes if you draw as blacks you lose the board control.

[siegeid]4[/siegeid] is currently held by erice1 who has been banned from the site and his subscription cancelled.

The other two without stars were subscribers whose subscriptions have expired - but they can finish any tournament/clan/siege games they have started.

Don't know what happens to board 4 though - maybe send feedback to get Russ to terminate the current game.

I though a draw counted as an unsuccessful defence. Don't you have to win as black to keep control of the board?
