Starting time in tournaments
Hi! I think its absolutely neccessary that tournaments show a starting time. Also the number of players like for example 03/30 makes people think that the tournament starts like a sit and go when there are all 30 are registered. Thats confusing! I think starting date / time is very important, because then players currently cant see when the tourney starts within lobby, only if you open tournament description...

Re: Starting time in tournaments
Tournaments can be started by multiple methods. A specific starting time is only one of those. But you don't have to open the info window to see a starting time. Just selecting it in the list will display the time just above the Info button.loggableim wrote:Hi! I think its absolutely neccessary that tournaments show a starting time.

Re: Starting time in tournaments
I understand that there is the info tab, but showing that there are for example 11/100 players registered makes the impression to players that it is a sit and go starting once its full. I think it is much better to show starting time directly within lobby without the info text, its a crucial feature, currently i think its very confusing.

It just shows there is room for a 100 players max and so far 11 have signed up.loggableim wrote:I understand that there is the info tab, but showing that there are for example 11/100 players registered makes the impression to players that it is a sit and go starting once its full.
Space is at a premium in the lobby window. If the tournament doesn't start at a specific time then there would be a wasted column. Sites that run only timed tournaments will often just put the time in their tournament name.I think it is much better to show starting time directly within lobby without the info text, its a crucial feature, currently i think its very confusing.
