yes, waiting for the end of the tournament is boring
but if you are on holiday you don't have to wait

and what about a mini summer season between T3 and T4?

Hello! Remember me?! Just thought I'd pop by!
I must say that, as someone outside the top division, I'm enjoying this season a lot more now that I can get some points!

The tournaments will stay at one per week, as that seems to be about the median of what people want, and also because they've been like that for ages and that's what people are used to now.

I do sympathise with people who may go on holiday or miss some tournaments and so risk being relegated, but a good player (for their division) would have to miss a lot of games to go down. But as people have said, one person's holiday is another's busiest time, so the fairest thing is to be consistent throughout the year. It's also the easiest to code

I'm very happy that so many people are enjoying the tournaments these days! Look out for Mallet Mania tournaments starting soon too...

Foster: I'm ready for you!

Hm, it seems I have to play the board a bit more.
And I hoped my time would no one beat. I see, it is always false to think in that way. Hope, I'll find time to get a better time!

I really like the new system. I was rather worried about being in division 1, but I'm surprising myself. Even for a relative beginner stuck in D1, it is better that every position now counts (at least for the top 25 positions). It sometimes put me off in other seasons when I would do a good improvement to go from 0 to 0 points, or 1 to 1, so I think I'm trying harder with this system

I know I'm entering the conversation a bit late, but busy times and holidays will vary between people so it really doesnt make sense (to me) to change the 1 week system for anyone other than Yariv . I think though I am one of the only southern hemisphere players. Maybe I am the only one at all?

It looks like the MM seasons (which I expect to see you all in) will start and end halfway through each NS one. I really like the sunday afternoon (for me) deadline, since I often set better times with only a few minutes to go, but maybe it would be an idea to skew the week starts as well so the two tounaments start on different days of the week? What do you all think?

Good point from Qetuth - I'd like to stagger MM and Nonosweeper tournaments too, now I think about it. Nonosweeper ones will stay where they so I expect MM tournaments will start/end in the middle of the week.

Incidentally the number of divisions is dependent on the number of players the previous season so there will never be large group with no points for more than 1 season. At the start of a new season, the lowest division will always contain between 8 and 15 players.

And nobody will be "stuck" in the wrong division for long as two players go up and two down each season - this should make the battle for 6th as interesting as that for first!

For anyone who follows the Premier League, I support West Bromwich Albion so I know all about the joy of surviving a relegation battle!

Gero: I really like this week's board, good suggestion!

It is funny!

I was bored, so i decided to play current tounament and in just five minutes i did :

Hey sweepers!!!

Qetuth and I told you some time ago that Mallet Mania tournaments have begun. 3 days are left for the first tournament, but no one of you has tried until now, to compete with the few people, who uploaded their scores. It would be really nice, if you would join the MM tournaments. I know that some of you have already a MM account, so you can download the newest version of MM to play the tournaments. And for those who don't have an account yet, contact Yariv, he might give you one.

So please, try it out so the game might get more popular. And I bet, MM tournaments will make as much fun as the Nono tournaments.

Hope to see some of you playing MM in future!!!

Ahh, I understand. The life besides computer games you mentioned must be the work.

Well, lets calculate a bit:
8 hours sleeping =>16 hours left
8 hours working  =>  8 hours left
3 hours for other things like going to work, cleaning your home, eating or talking to other people (e.g. Nono forum ) => 5 hours left

You see? You should have 5 hours for free time. I must say, I'm happy you don't use this time to practise Nono and beat my scores. But your life besides computer games doesn't take you so much time away that you aren't able to play games at least some hours.
This is argumentation!!!


Oops, I forgot why I posted here:
It's bad that you don't like to play MM tournaments, but you aren't the only one who has an account and could try out this game. What's up with the others? Come on, try this game. It's really nice!!! And those who don't have an account, contact Yariv. 2 days are left, until the first tournament in MM ends. And currently only 6 people uploaded their scores. Some more would be really nice.
