Artful Dodger: I was just going to say, I didn't think pawns could create tournaments

nodnarbo: I was thinking the same thing.. why are pawns allowed to do so.. She also just resigned not one or two.. but, I think 17 games I had going with her? And she did that with several others that I have recently learned.. why can't there be a restriction put on that player as to creating any multi game from here on out..

Artful Dodger: I think those tournaments were made before they went down to pawn status maybe?

There are way too many tournaments sitting out there right now... one of the reasons I haven't created any myself lately.

To solve the current issue - deleting a lot of them would be helpful.

Long term solutions.

1. Limit on the number of open (public) tournaments a person can make - something like 20. (20 is a lot, but usually it's the extreme 100+ of the same tournament which is really the issue - so 20 still allows a lot, but not extreme)

2. Having tournament stay up to 30 days after the due date is WAY too long. 7 days should be the limit. If some some reason you want it to last longer, the tournament creator can change the tournament date to a later date to get around it. 7 days would give plenty of extra time past the start time for the tournament creator to change it if needed.

coan.net: Considering that one can create a tournament up to two years in advance, why bicker about a 23 day difference?

In fact, why ask for tournament creation restrictions? Why not ask for more filter options? Restrictions on tournament creation options is limiting someone else, while better filter options allows everyone to get what he/she wants.

You know, kind of like the difference between the autopass we have , and autopass we want.
