Proposal for Rotating Daily "My Cards" Tournament Start Times
« on: August 01, 2013, 11:25:00 AM »
Recently a number of players have expressed a wish that the Expanded and Movie "My Cards" Daily Tournaments would be moved to different times, to (among other reasons) limit people playing both tournaments at the same time, and thus slowing down the overall time it takes to complete both tournaments.

I recently proposed the following:

What if we had FOUR dailies every day, for the four most popular formats (Fellowship, Towers Standard, Movie, and Expanded), with start times that were staggered three hours apart. AND each day, each of those dailies would rotate 3 hours up.

For example, Monday:

12pm Fellowship
3pm Towers Standard
6pm Movie
9pm Expanded

And on Tuesday:

12pm Expanded
3pm Fellowship
6pm Towers Standard
9pm Movie

And on Wednesday:

12pm Movie
3pm Expanded
6pm Fellowship
9pm Towers Standard

...and so on. So, in theory, most people would probably have at least one day a week that had a convenient time during which they could play their favorite Daily. And for people with more open schedules, there'd be the opportunity to play in ALL of them, with probably not much overlap between the different ones.

What do you think of this proposal? For now, set aside the specific start times I've listed (we'll cover those in a different poll, if there's enough support for this idea), and just ask yourself whether you like the idea of four different daily tournaments a day, one for each of the four most popular formats, scattered 3 hours apart from each other, with start times that rotate each day.

For, or against?

Definitely for. I have an unusual schedule, so I am either asleep or at work during the current dailies. I can count on one hand the number of times I've actually been available to play in one.

I'm for it, but also for removing the ability to play in more than one match at a time... for obvious reasons.

I'd be satisfied if playing multiple games at once would be eliminated.

Multiple elimination would be great. It was mostly introduced to give people something to do while waiting for a ragequit, but we now have the penalty system.

I don't mind eliminating that for tournaments if that's what people want. I'd want to keep it for regular play though, for ragequitting and whatnot.

You already can't play in multiple league games at a time. It shouldn't be that much of a stretch to extend that to dailies too.
