I'd like to improve the tournament page generally, the first page being a summary and then you can drill down to view further tournaments.... dependent on whether I get the time!

The only criticism i have about the new micro tournaments, they should start immeadiately once the 8 players have joined.


Yep, it'll be that way for next patch.

But it really doesn't matter if they don't fill - the prize is proportional to the entrants - so maybe 28 TournaPoints.

not really as you only get few tournapoints not a stat on profile so micro in early hours don't bother me

there is no point to exist those micro and friendly tourneys.. the only thing they give us is micro points...
i like the last upgrades that nick have made, like changing aspect of balls and table.. but i dont like this one about tourneys..
thats my opinion..
cheers

friendly tournaments is as important as ranked ones.

it gives newbies a chance to learn and for veterans to play without losing rank.

Well, they wont be for everyone - but this change is an option, they've not replaced anything.

Any chance the tourny page can be a bit neater; Like on pool without all the micro tournies?

Tournapoints

On both sites (pool and snooker) it is clear that whoever is a vg player and plays most hours that god sends will be top of the Tournapoints ranks. Ucy on pool and Scobansco on here. When a player is ranked in the real world they don't hold onto to points they won ages ago. So suggest any tournapoints won more than say 3 months ago drop off your tournapoints score.

nick i think they are is too many arcade tournaments now (was too many before) is there a way you can alternate the micro tournaments round.

example:

Arcade THEN
Regular THEN
Original THEN
Carom

or even add power, this gives tournaments more variety instead of 99% Arcade.

If this cannot be done then is it possible to add a Carom Friendly tournament in the evening.

I also feel Random Tournaments should be non newbie in ONE event rather than ALL events then you are sure to get more than the average 4-5 entries we have now.

Kind of agree with you, but its a good achievement for people to see that you have won the most Tournapoints ever, i would love to be ucy or scobansco, but scobansco does not always win, ucy does, ive played him, but on snooker you got more variety of players that win, you dont see scobansco winning every tournament

agree with dgen above - start rotating tournies like on funkypool so that different tournies appear at different times. A good example is carom at 5pm - usually can't ever make a 5pm tournie

I don't think there are too many arcade tourneys, you have to feed the masses and more people enter the arcade tourneys so you have to have more of them as they are the most popular.

I am talking about the normal arcade tourneys though, not the micro tourneys as i don't have much knowledge on them as i don't enter them.
