Recent ranked and tournament games:
Arcade: 21,358
Regular: 2,150
Original: 1,501
Carom: 222


No, thats seems a little generous, actually.

Looking at those stats there, Arcade should have ten times as many as Regular and Original.

So be happy with what you've got, it could be worse

It would mean some redesign of that page but it's a good point.



Yes, it would, but the number of original tournaments are reduced because:
1) arcade games are *much* more popular,
2) original tournaments do not attract enough participants

Let's break it down, ranked games (over last 4 days):
Arcade: 20,382
Regular: 1,936
Original: 1,353
Carom: 155

Tournament games (note stats only show completed games):
Arcade: 1,312
Regular: 242
Original: 168
Carom: 69

Average completed games per tournament:
Arcade: 41
Regular: 30
Original: 21
Carom: 9

So, even with arcade being represented 4 times as much the tournaments are still in more demand. I don't wish to change things too much, variety is good, but I don't see any reason to push original overly.

well guess nothing i can do but live with it

Off Topic:

can you read this please nick and tell you plans for carom. I have put a few ideas forward in this case

It won't help now that orig are at terrible times now. At 3pm the majority of people are either at work or finishing school, and won't be home in time for it.

And 10:00pm isn't peak time i know that, would like to see one of the orig one moved to a better time to attract more users to that game.

damee-dont u mean reg is at terrible times?

Pay attention mel!

Got bored, missed killer off though.

Aint that good.

I've bumped all the evening tournaments forward 1 hour. This allows 1 tournament of each type starting during the peak evening hours (7pm, 8pm, 9pm).

Hopefully that's the last time it needs modifying.

ORIGINAL is much better, i think its more for older people who actuly play snooker.

there should be more tournaments for ORIGINAL in the day time aswell, like 5-6pm.

You may think that Original is much better, however the stats show that Arcade is more popular, which is why it gets more tournaments.

Stats dont lie
