    But it was not an option at the time FWIW. Pretty sure I am not the only one either...
    Same here.
    Parlaying options #1 and #3 looks like a winner.

    Why make a limit of entries on any tournament? That is to be honest what never made sense anyway. Everyone should be able to play if they sign up, no reason to limit entries at all. And yes I know that hurts everyone's chances at cashing, but why keep posters out?



    THANK YOU for adding 10 slots to each tournament though, I was getting tired of getting shut out

    How about doing something like this?

    Instead of three tournaments a day, make it six (maybe seven) tournaments per day.

    Instead of 40 people per tournament, make it 20.

    Instead of 12 people getting paid per tournament, make it top 6.

    This will keep these tedious tournaments to under an hour, and will give everyone an opportunity to find a comfortable timeslot. Lastly, open all registration for tournaments at midnight EST.

    Looks like 9pm is running away with this poll.

    And now you can see why so many people complained about adding 10 slots. The numbers don't lie.

    You guys change your minds more than me & you don't know what you want. So, go ahead and vote on format changes and majority will rule, if not, then be quiet and enjoy your free tourneys !

    Bugger this voting crap!

    Use your power and just add a 10am tourney like the important people want Ivy!

    why was 10:00 am taken away? simply restore it. Add another at 9:00pm also but do not make games longer by increasing players to 50.

    2 hour reg really sucks!

    If thats how it's going to be there needs to be some kind of mobile registration option!

    What was sooo hard about firing up the client in the morning and choosing the time that fits your schedule for some of you mooks around here?????? If that was really that tough you should def stick to freeroll poker!

    If number of players is no longer capped what's the point of only allowing registration 2 hours before the kickoff?

    Leave prizes as they are regardless of the number of entrants and let players decide for themselves. If someone wants to just play they will be content with competing against 60 for the same payouts. And if I want to beat ShogunRua in the standings I will pick and choose and try to play in the tournament with the fewest number of entrants and most empty seats who sign up but never show up.

    Remove cap on number of players
    Remove any registration restrictions (allow sign up the moment tournament appears in lobby)
    Leave prizes exactly as they are in each of the three tournaments regardless of entries
    Last edited by Grivas_Digeni; 10-27-15 at 11:04 AM. Reason: and please make buy ins higher to discourage registering 15 hours in advance unless you know you'll be there to play

    ya I didn't ask for that one

    i could sign up in the morning, but that doesn't guarantee I'll play. I'll just burn up a spot someone else could use. That's not really right either

    Def need a morning slot for players on other side of the world. Plus, many of us were "regulars" with the morning slot. It almost always filled.

    True Dane but that comes down to personal responsibility. IMO either uncap the player limit or uncap the reg times to way longer than 2 hours. Having both leaves an hour or so window each day that you must be at a desktop to get a chance at playing. Much bigger pita than planning the day and scheduling accordingly.

    how is the 9pm beating the 9 am option 39 -17 ?
    jamming 3 tourneys in the 6pm to 10pm time slots is the answer?
    bring back the 9am Ivy, or ur gonna have a riot on ur hands
    and if Glenn really died last episode, ur gonna have a riot on ur hands

    The poll was edited after 20 or so votes were already in. The 10am option wasn't on the original poll. So most of the early votes went to the 9pm. But there's no question those two options are the most popular choices in the poker community.
