New tournament idea: attempts instead of days

[LeanderL]

What do you think of a new tournament idea? Instead of days every player gets attempts instead. You can start a table 3 times. This way, every player has the same chance. If a tournament is available for 7 days, one player might have time to play 3 hours a day while others can only play twice in those 7 days.

A tournament with attempts would be better in my opinion! Of course starting the table counts as an attempt and not posting your score because you could ALT+F4-quit before your score is submitted if you don't like the result of your attempt.

Having only 3 attempts per tournament would increase activity as everyone could participate in more tournaments at the same time!

If you just grind the same table in a tournament for hours...you have to focus on that tournament AND players who don't have as much time as you do have a disadvantage.

A "hey, I only have to play x times" is more time-friendly than "oh now, someone broke my record, I already spent 2 hours to play that table, don't want to play so many hours again".

An attempt limit makes you focus on the table, give your best, then go to a different tournament...and you also save time!

That's a cool idea, it would really put some pressure on the attempts you have! Wrote it up

Add me as another upvote for this suggestion.

Great Idea.

Friends and I used to do this on Forza in a self regulated tournament. We would only get three attempts at a best time. We had to work on trust though!

And how would people feel about an 'attempts per day' limit, for example a five-day tournament that allows you one attempt per day?

Sounds good. I'm with you.

I agree. No mode should be "the more you play, the better you rank". Your rankings should be based solely on how well you play / score. A 3 game limit would seem to be a good limit to me, but I think you would also need some type of time limitation.

This makes more sense.

If people have 3 attempts with no set tournament end time how would the tournament end if people say only play the once?

Could just still have the current end time limit. But each player can only try 3 times. Easy enough solution.

Yes, this is what I assumed the OP meant.
