I still want to keep 1 tournament / hour schedule, it keeps the schedule simple, and a few straight pool tournaments mixes things up.

Not too happy about the 8 Ball US speed tourney times. 4am and 2pm aren't very good for me (especially during weekdays), and I do best in those Speed tournies

I suppose it's what the majority wants though, so I might just have to put up with it

A marathon tourney shouldn't be within two hours after a previousb one cos they take about 3 hours to complete. IMO.

yeah...i wouldnt want to see 4 hourly rotations...but I think three daily straight tournaments stratigicly placed so everyone around the world can have at least one, maybe two goes a day.

Midnight, 1pm and 7pm (GMT)...or Midday, 1am and 7am, but it would not suit the majority of UK people.

I think 12am, 1pm and 7pm is OK...that replaces one of each game type.

u think you can some of the less popular stickies off sticky?

oh...congrats nick on winning the first straight tournament!

Ya, congrats nick... I think you were the first winner of the first US 8 ball tourney too, back in Spring 2006!

Ta

I just sneak in and create the trial tournament without announcing it too far ahead so not too many big players come in (but keep this a secret between us).

Umm Nick.. take a look at this.

You caught me midst change

The tournament schedule has been updated now. First regular straight pool tournament at 1am tonight.

We'll see how these go.

il be here at 1am then lol

I will be in Bed lmao! got to get up early in the morning.. Or do I have enough strength to stay up 1AM onwards!

Lol Nick Well done on your unannounced tourny win.

So straight at 1 am, 9 am... what are the
other times?????

I think straight speed tournaments will definitely be needed - the rounds last a long time otherwise with everyone needing to pot 35 balls to win. Bear in mind for a 35-34 win that is the equivalent, possibly, of playing almost 8 racks of 9 ball in the same time period!!!!

Wow when you think twice you can last 3/4 rounds and then you can lose after all that effort.

Clooney check out the tourny page

i like the change alot
us8 marathon used to be at 4am where i am and i could never play it

thanks for the great site nick and keep up the good work

Full schedule is on the first post.



It's 20 minutes limit per round, so a 64 player tournament could take 2 hours.

I gotta ask... If a player has surpassed 35 points and is on a run when the time elapses, is it DQ-DQ?

Yes, it will be as the server doesn't know the game has finished until the run ends. Good point.

From what i can see Nick you have shifted the marathon tourns till a later time! this is hard for some players (not us bats)

Would it be possible to change game times a random! i kknow it changes with the normal clock but can we change it. 8 call quickie was good now i havent a clue........... we will have to learn i suppose

i dont like the us 8ball marathon torny at 00.00 hrs, my fav torny, cant play it now
