[QUOTE="Kevlar, post: 52142, member: 9"] Well as much as I'm enjoying tournament play I certainly won't be paying to play. Farsight have already said though that that's the way they are going, can't find the thread but its here somewhere. Edit: ok, found the post. It was in the beta section of the forum so I wouldn't normally post this here but I'm sure it's been said elsewhere too so no harm in copying it here; In answer to questions mainly from me Farsight Ryan posted this back in November ; " Hey guys, glad you are enjoying it. As you can see its definitely in a Beta stage since we are still improving and designing the finer details. There will most certainly be bugs so please feel free to report them, Stephen will pick them up. Few things to note.

This is still in the works, but for now its unlimited to allow you to try it out. will we be able to setup our own tournaments? - That is farther down the line once the original concept is smoothed out, but yes, this is something we plan on doing if its feasible. select which tables to play? - That would tie in to the above question yes. duration? - why not, though we may for the sake of database integrity and bloat max the duration limit entry? - Password protected I believe was the idea. I'm not sure limiting the points available for each table to 100 pts is a good idea, surely by the end of the tournament there will be many players with 400 pts ( in a 4 table tourney ) so no actual winner? how are you going to get around this? maybe make the target score to get 100 points almost un-reachable? - The point system is made in such a way that the top ranking player for said table gets 100, 2nd place 90, third 85, then 4th -> X amount of people its interpolated linearly from 84 to 1 so in theory noone will have the same amount of points on a single table.
