3 days boot for all games makes it easier so i just have to take all my turns every 2 days and never get booted.

2 days direct - 3 days auto...

2 days auto.

1.5 days direct, 2 days auto. Less if it's a casual tourney.

At least 3 days direct and auto for a tournament of that size always in my opinion (if not longer, but not much need for 4 day auto or more) Any less and too many games decided by boots. Direct and Auto should be the same so that people who are boot-happy don't get an advantage

Direct and Auto should be the same so that people who are boot-happy don't get an advantage

This is the most important imo, please keep them the same.

I would say 5 days direct, 7 days auto (or just 7 days direct/auto) for a long-running tournament with 512 players because some people might get very busy sometimes and can only play in weekends.

I don't like a player being booted when they are still active and will make their moves even though they become slow due to real time business. I can wait. I would like to give them enough time.

You may set pre-requisites to make sure players in are responsible and active (e.g. number of games played = 50, boot rate below 10%).

^Honor vacation.

Prereq. are wasted, if forward invite is on. (Which you need...)

3/4 day auto.

I don't join anything with less than 3 days auto.

3 days is the perfect multi-day time for students or people in school imo

That's why it works for me.

Minimum 3 days. No need to rush on multiday. That's realtime purpose.

I don't join tournaments with less than 3 day direct and vacations respected.

3 day auto.


Still I love playing PoonSquad tourneys. The thrill of avoiding the ax is worth it.

The average after 11 responses (high and low discarded) is 2.7 days auto.

one day auto would be my preference, but 2 day auto is fine.
Never seen the point in manual boots

2 days + 25% BBT
