Maybe have the Marathons, speed and normal tornaments follow a pattern like such

00:00 - 8US Marathon
01:00 - 9US Speed
02:00 - 8UK Normal
03:00 - Straight
04:00 - Random
05:00 - 8US Normal
06:00 - 9US Marathon
07:00 - 8UK Speed
08:00 - Straight
09:00 - Random
10:00 - 8 Arcade
11:00 - 9 Arcade

and so on if you can see where i am coming from. Keeping the same format in order but rotating speed, normal and marathon for 8US, 9US and 8UK.

EDIT: Maybe on a rotation every month

wow you and foxy both just dont get it..you think im trying to tell you to get your rank up..NO. Im saying why not play tournaments and gain rank. OBVIOUSLY i know your a "top dog" otherwise i wouldnt have posted that. Get a life and stop trying to always have a go at me.

Yes these should be on the hour..or every 2 at max. All arcade needs to be friendly, micro and open to guests also.

Also if there were 5 second arcade tournies, id be all over them, not sure about others. And 5 second 9 ball tournys.

Think before you post

Super Speed is 5 sec games

i cant read spoilers on my phone........ ;/

Many people and myself have complained there is far to many tournaments so why even add a super speed to that list is beyond me.

super speed! Lool that just sounds like a joke.

5 sec tourny for 9ball only. Anything else just isn't right. Maybe straight.....MAYBE

Their is already a 10 second straight tournament, not many players even play it so a 5 second one would be pointless.

Adding any more tournaments would be pointless anyway as many others have said as there is just way to much now which has lowered the numbers of people who actually join them.

I don't like the idea of 5 sec tourneys either, but he's not adding more tournaments, he's only adding more tournament types.
He still has 1 tourney per hour in his schedule.

I think all tournaments and rank games should be set at 5, 10 or 15 seconds, why do people need longer than that ?.

Some people like to chat with friends, or new opponents. Some people may be doing other things, and have this on in the background.

I like to play on a 90 second shot clock, and I do get some abuse for it, but before someone joins to play it has the game details on the screen, has a warning about the game time being long, if they click yes it's their own fault for doing so.

Yesterday I was in a straight tournament and got a random shot, when I still had 4 seconds on my shot clock because I was in a difficult position and was weighing up which shot to take, nothing to do with other things just a tough shot.

I disagree with your comment, but not everyone shares the same opinions.

completely agree, and for mich if its in tournament..there needs to be a certain amount of respect. Why join a tournament, if you not going to pay attention? Also in beginning of games, it says they are fast or slow, but does not say how much time exactly, only in game rooms does it tell you such info, but not everybodynotices the time in game rooms. If it was shown before you click play, it would end that thought of not knowing.

if you look its a tournament every hour, no micros or friendlies in there. Super speed is for those who enjoy it like Arcade

I haven't added a 5 sec Straight Tournament either.

Have only added 5 5 second tournament out of 49 so its not bad really.

19:00 8Arc Super Speed
23:00 9Arc Super Speed
15:00 9US Super Speed
16:00 8UK Super Speed

12 Speed Tournaments
10 Marathon Tournaments
5 Super Speed Tournaments
----------------------------------------------
9 8US Tournaments
8 9 Ball Tournaments

Tournaments maybe, Ranked games no.

sometimes even 20 seconds isn't enough for me to take my shot and i am a really fast player, reason is due to thinking time on difficult shots, you need to think of each angle and think of the safiest shot to take.

i can do 5 second games as well just as fluently as i think when its my opponents shot so i know roughly what shot to take and thats how you win 5 second games. On easy shots i take 3 seconds with spin and 4 or 5 for a more difficult shot

funnily enough i hate 10 sec games but love 5 sec, its weird
