My favourite game is straight pool. Becasue I work during the day I cannot play any of the tourneys; 9am - at work, 5pm - just finishing work, 1am, far too late (I know it's after 2am now but these games don't finish until after 3am, and I'm not normally up this late). Would it be possible to rearrange the schedule a little to put a straight tourney at a time us workers can play, say 8 or 9pm?

I agree with this entirely, 9am is too early, 5pm is tea time or when coming back from uni and 1am is too late.

Other things that are silly is having 3 speed tournaments back to back from 2pm to 4pm, as you have to wait between them, then you have 8ball Marathon (another favourite) just before the Straight. I like the way of Marathon - Speed - Marathon like 10pm - 12am. Should have more mix and match like that throughout the day in the schedule
