Re: Funmonkey54 and kjwkjw's un-FFRly Tournament
fyi... this was in PM to funmonkey in response ti saying that the 1st round will go to the 11th:
Quote:
from my experience, that is a bad idea. the longer the rounds, the less active people are. they forget about the tournament, they lose interest, etc etc. in most cases, people submit within 24 hours of the start of a round, then wait for a new round.
IMO, 5 days is too long to begin with. having a 1st round that is 10 days long is going to destroy your activity, which is already kinda poor to begin with... my advice would be to start the 2nd round tomorrow, as initially intended, and send out a batch of PMs reminding everyone that the round is starting.
i think this is why devonin's tournament is doing so well... fast-paced rounds, every 50 hours.
just my opinion, feel free to ignore it... but i do tend to know what i'm talking about.
