[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 214854, member: 3745"] Here's what I'd suggest to cover scheduling not just for December but for all the holidays. Adjust a week sooner starting with October. Avoid Halloween by playing on 10/24 instead of 10/31, Thanksgiving on 11/21 instead of 11/28, and Christmas on 12/19 instead of 12/26. That's all at four week intervals, counting from 9/26. I know you like the "last-Saturday" principle but I think working around the holidays is the bigger concern for participation. I would be out for all three of those holiday Saturdays, and knowing that ahead of time, probably wouldn't be interested in the whole season much at all. As one of the elite players, I do confess to not being fond of the pool format (for May, I lost to switch3flip even though I beat him on all four tables), but yeah I've got my glory on the Farsight leaderboard. I do like the egalitarian nature without divisions, since yeah Farsight has that too. The one adjustment I'd like is a consensus or vote on which table to select for "put up" rather than just moderator's decree. I don't want live updates during the tourney. As workshed says, that lends advantage to players playing later in the day who will know what scores to target, with a degenerate endpoint of everyone trying to cram as late in the day as possible. I prefer keeping it blind on an equal footing. I try not to notice score posts from anyone in my pools until I'm done. Again, Farsight's leaderboard always has the scores to shoot for and it's actually refreshing playing blind on what the target will be. Season 4 was left out randomly? I thought that was intentional for the TOTWs to be older tables as there isn't any need to revisit a game that just came out. [/QUOTE]
