I've noticed that I'm finding it really hard to be online for UK tournaments. However I keep seeing US ones! If this happens to me i reckon its likely to happen to other people as well, and vice versa (only UK ones).

I was wondering if the times of the tournaments could be switched every 3 months or so.

The tournament times will be as follows:
UK 8 Ball: 4am, 8am, 12pm, 4pm, 8pm, 12am
US 8 Ball: 2am, 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, 10pm

Would change to every 3 months.

The tournament times will be as follows:
UK 8 Ball: 2am, 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, 10pm
US 8 Ball: 4am, 8am, 12pm, 4pm, 8pm, 12am

Doing this would further the equality of oppotunities for all the players who use the site.

We have already talked about this, but decided against it.

A regular timetable is easier for frequent and casual users to become acquainted with, people know where they stand.

Unfortunately some users like yourself may struggle with the new times, but we now have 50% more tournaments in a day, and the US pool is picking up nicley.

I noticed a lot of the top players have transferred their skills over to the US, well done to them!!

I think a regular timetable is a solid basis for most people to work around, it's just a shame you don't play US pool.

Oh well, you can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs

I agree having a regular timetable is needed...thats why I said every 3 months not every week

I cant stand the US version and seeing US tournament now open. At 4 + 12 the main times i'm online. IS DAM ANNOYING!

Mate i see your problem as i've been wondering why the name "squeezy" hasn't got a tourny wins next to him . Yeah it's a problem also for me the only realistic time for me to enter a tournament on weekdays is 6:00pm UK one. The odd weekend i can enter 2:00pm or 6 or 10 but as i say only on wkd's. A swap around could be interesting and is worth a go at asking. But as i've said in previous posts about this tourny schedule you'll just have take it on your chin for the mo.

I understand what you are saying.

It's hard when you are used to something, then have to arrange your life differently to accommodate the changes.

Still, i always find time to make a tournament somehow, and even though i'm useless at US pool, i still have a go when i can make time.

*pool_life walks away, hoping his subliminal messages have taken effect on squeezy*

I'm not sure that anyone could understand those m8.

My solution is swop the times over and keep it that way! cuz i'm the only one moaning about it ^_^

nah, the tourny times are fine and personally wouldn't fancy having a new schedule ever so often.

I see what you're saying though.

yea have to agree with u there squeezy,i have nt bein entering tournaments because it just seems the us pool has taken the convienent times,i suppose people do have different convienent times,4oclock was good for uk,but 6 o clock isnt a great time at all for a uk tourney,8 is perfect which is us,then late tourney is at 2? us at 12.maybe its just me but it seems us has got all the good time slots

LOL i'm finding the opposite! The old UK table is just a joke now after playing the US one.

But every tourney i log on for its the old kiddie game! Grrrrr...

Oh well, at least there ARE tourneys even if i dont get to play em!
