Just wanted to comment on something I noticed a little while ago.. I created a 20 person 2 table tournament and registered. I went off to do some other things (probably 30-40 mins) and when I came back, I noticed that I wasn't connected anymore. Apparently the session had timed out and I was logged out. In addition, I was unregistered for the tournament I created. I guess this is by design, but I was wondering if there was any plans to have the ability to schedule and create tournaments by date/time and give the players the ability to register for a tournament in advance and stay registered even though they log out of the client. Thanks.

Re: Tournament Scheduling & Registration
If they registered then don't make it back for the tourny then it can create what I had the other night which was 2 players who did exactly that, then left their PC and ended up in the tourny posting SB and BB until their chips ran out, it was a royal pain in the bum let me tell you. Unless there is a way around that I suppose.rjones33 wrote:Just wanted to comment on something I noticed a little while ago.. I created a 20 person 2 table tournament and registered.

Re: Tournament Scheduling & Registration
I can understand what you are saying, but I don't think a player should have to register for a tourney more than once. I also think it would be nice to have the ability to schedule tounaments for specific dates and times. I'm sure Kent has already thought about this. Probably just a matter of time...

Re: Tournament Scheduling & Registration
That should only happen if your internet connection dropped. Then it will log you out if you don't reconnect within 2 minutes. But yes, logging out does unregister you from tournaments.rjones33 wrote:Just wanted to comment on something I noticed a little while ago.. I created a 20 person 2 table tournament and registered.

I'll put that on the list. Along with the ability of an administrator to manually unregister people.I guess this is by design, but I was wondering if there was any plans to have the ability to schedule and create tournaments by date/time and give the players the ability to register for a tournament in advance and stay registered even though they log out of the client.
Re: Tournament Scheduling & Registration
Speaking of relogging on disconnect, is there any way to preserve a Ring game seat when that happens? Also, I have been requested to ask for a regular sitout ability on Ring games (once the kick mechanism is implemented) to allow people to get up and stretch say for 5 minutes once every hour or two, without losing their seat.
There was something else about forcing people to rebuy with the same amount of chips they left a table with if they rejoin within X hours to prevent people from winning and hiding chips to be re-won. Real casinos do something similar. If that option was there though, there would need to be a check in case the chips are deducted by an admin in the meantime.

Re: Tournament Scheduling & Registration
It should hold your seat for 2 minutes. If you can't reconnect by that time then you probably don't want a dead player hogging that seat.selene wrote:Speaking of relogging on disconnect, is there any way to preserve a Ring game seat when that happens?
They can do that now, as long as they return before the timeout value you have set kicks them off.Also, I have been requested to ask for a regular sitout ability on Ring games (once the kick mechanism is implemented) to allow people to get up and stretch say for 5 minutes once every hour or two, without losing their seat.
Yeah I don't currently have a "rathole" mechanism. I'll consider adding one.There was something else about forcing people to rebuy with the same amount of chips they left a table with if they rejoin within X hours to prevent people from winning and hiding chips to be re-won.

I accidentally went to another webpage in my browser while playing last night, reloaded our site, got back to table, same hand, I was still sitting, and then when the hand ended it booted me despite me being back on table.

Re: Tournament Scheduling & Registration
I see what's happening. When you reconnect, it assigns you a new session number. And when you log in, it sees that you are already logged in under a different session number so it logs that old session out. And that logout is removing you from all ring tables. So I just need to check for that and skip the forced removal step for reconnects.selene wrote:I accidentally went to another webpage in my browser while playing last night, reloaded our site, got back to table, same hand, I was still sitting, and then when the hand ended it booted me despite me being back on table.
Re: Tournament Scheduling & Registration
Sweet, I was hoping it was an easy check like that. Thanks Kent =)
