I agree with rento. Playing a championship game late (4-5am for me) is not especially fun. By that point it's autopilot clicking. The clever moves that got you to the finals might not be made in the finals if you can't keep your eyelids open.

I always wanted a feature that allowed a hybrid-type tournament. Real-time for every game but the finals, or control the boot time as the tournament progresses. This way the tournament could kick-start at a fast rate, and then progressively turn into a competitive multi-day tournament as soon as the 'fodder' are done away with. (Or the fodder upsets a few times to make it more interesting).

As for shortening the time of the tournaments, all I can do is use more well-known/smaller templates. The mixture of tournaments or round-robins.. they simply won't work.

These 1v1 tournaments are too long. What about doing two 8-player tournaments rather than one for 16 players? It gives many possibilities:

Ok look at a 16 player toruny, and forget about the championship game, just look at one half of the tourny. How many players are there? it is 2 - 8 player tournys. The only difference is that you put 16 in and cannot choose the seeds as well as in smaller tournys, but that is it. Sorry if i sounded harsh first time round :) i was in a bad mood.

any tournaments this weekend?

Shortlist Round Robin begins in about 45 minutes. Stream will start once two rounds finish.

any tournaments this weekend?

Yes, there will be tournaments like usual.

Link to Tournament: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TournamentID=4202

It is an anonymous round robin between: Timinator, Heyheuhei, Frankdeslimste, Huruey, 13CHRIS37, and Artham

Since Timi and Huruey may or may not have made it, Gnuffone will be stepping into the tournament.

The new tournament is this: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TournamentID=4203 due to boot settings not being correct on the other one.

annd.. by the time I was available to host the tourney was over except for 2 games. Sorry guys, I'll do something about this event later.

Uhm, why don't you stream it?

At least no shame again :{
