Slow Fillers

by **chapcrap** on Wed Aug 31, 2011 6:46 pm

I hate when I have tournaments that take longer than 3 days to fill up. I'm so impatient. I want to start my tournaments already!!!

Maybe I just spend too much time on the site.

It'd be interesting to see a study on Tournaments looking for players and figure out the average length, and then investigate what impact certain settings, or combinations of settings, do to the length...

Yeah, I don't know what all would impact everything. Most of my tournaments take a week or less to fill up. Average of maybe 3-5 days. My tournaments that have taken longer (7-14 days) to fill are ones with larger player numbers (like a 64 player tournament or large team tournaments), settings people are afraid of (freestyle and assassin), or team tournaments that are maps people aren't familiar with (King's Court or Oasis).

In general tournaments that are large, will take longer, or have scary settings/maps fill slower. Tournaments that are small, will be quick, and have common settings/maps fill faster for me.
