A new vote has been created to seek feedback on tournament time controls so in the future the majority of tournaments can be targeted more effectively to what people actually want.
Please take the time to vote - a large sample would be very useful.
Vote from the community menu >> vote.
Thanks.

Originally posted by zebanoI think the game really keeps moving with out a timebank. I believe there was a time when the site had no timebanks. The games play a little more like OTB games. Gotta keep moving.

Anyway, I hope this doesn't mean less popular formulas disappear or become too rare.

For example, the current long hual duel and tourny are fully subscribed, yet, according to the vote, they should both have the same few people in them.
By all means increase the number of 3/7s if that's what people want, but it'd be nice to see the longer t/o tournaments stay at least as regular as they are now. Short t/o games are fairly useless to me these days.
