BUMP

I do support this idea as like people have said, it is annoying when you get logged out in a tournament such as a marathon

i think there should be a beep 3 times before u get logged out , its a good idea to hear that something could be done to give u some notice . think everyone has missed a tournament through getting logged out without reliseing ,

some people don't use sound so makes no difference - personally i just click the screen every 15minutes or so when i'm doing whatever it is. Think if you get logged out for being idle clearly your priority's are not pool - therefore it shouldn't matter you've been logged.

Tourny's don't usually take 20minutes even in a mara depending on the time these days that the tourny starts - however why you went idle i have no idea jim surely if you was in the tourny you'd be near the comp ready for the invite?

Extremely easy to forget you entered a tourny and just leave it sitting in chat room then get logged out. Hence why this idea was created, with 2 and a half pages of positive feedback voting for.

Yep, all for it.
What harm can it do? Only positive effects really.

didnt nick mention about a voiceover one time, if he can create a reminder with 5, 2 and 1 minute left then shouldn't be an excuse unless you use no sound.

sounds for invite, pms help as well as it keeps you alert.

As to my previous message, tournys rarely take 20minutes a game unless it's a semi/final or a marathon with alot of members in - just registering to them means you have 10minutes to wait you can't forget that and if you do the invite sound should notify you anyway.

Not slating the idea just saying that's all - sometimes things are better left untouched when there's nothing wrong in the first place.

depends really.

9 ball/8US i would agree with you

however Straight/UK normally take longer than 20 minutes for 1st to 3 as its tactical and straight is long enough as it is.

straight is a 1 framer, yes can take longer but that's your choice if you've chosen to enter it. UK8 rarely takes 20minutes even with tratter vs onua a 2-1 scoreline either way would take less then that.

as i said before not knocking it would be a nice addition but i don't think it will be a priority or be sorted any time soon.

Clearly there is something wrong if a number of different users are getting logged out without warning. If the time limit for a single round is more than 20 minutes, surely there's a chance someone could get logged out.

So you're for the idea, but don't think it will get implemented. Why not just say you like the idea and leave the rest to admins? The more negative feedback, the less likely it is to get implemented. All your posts have been attempts at telling us why it's not necessary.
