I had gotten into silver and then didn't play for quite a few months, but when I did last month I was still listed as silver level. So that's my experience, but don't quote me.--------------------I've played in non beta, where tourney results are listed, and in beta where they are not. Couple of days ago beta wouldn't show the 20 minute timer but now does. Another difference is that in the beta it has the 8 tables separated by whether you've completed all the wizard goals, are in wizard, or in standard. Seems strange to break it down like that when you can't earn any of the goals while actually playing in the tourney.--------------------I always wind up with tourney fatigue at some point. I totally agree that there should be a shakeup in how they play, but that doesn't mean a complete elimination of what we have either. I'd like it to switch up every month. 20 minutes, 5 minutes, one ball, limited entry, last score is posted score, no extra ball, tournament difficulty, etc.I've also tried the self imposed play limit, but usually can't resist breaking it. Instead what I do is give each table a play and see how that does with the standings. I'll then go back and hit a few of the tables I know I can do much better on, and play until I get an acceptable to my average score. I pretty much ignore the tourney then until the final 24 hours, and if my scores are good enough to advance a level then I'll let 'em sit. If I'm on the cusp, I go into a playing frenzy. Last month I advanced to gold, and right now my score is firmly in the middle. This means I don't need to play much more at all since I know I'll never catch the top ten so won't even bother. If I go chasing each month, I'll stop playing the tourneys way sooner than I'd like because usually at the end, I hate those particular tables too much to even play for fun!</blockquote>
