I would join if there would be vacation....

If 15 people post here saying they'll join if I turn the, 'no vacation' feature off then I'll do that.  However the point of the tournament is so that it goes fast with players facing one opponent at a time.  It will only mean one extra game at a time in your ongoing games list.

Yes, it is 2days..You can make it 1day with vacation, I move the game that have less time first....

Okay, I might do.  I have sent out a message to the people already participating.  If no-one has a problem with that I will make the change and then post what I've done in this forum.  However I need to take into account the fact that some people may have joined because of the no vacation setting and may request that I do not change it. 

I know, but you never know what might happen tomorrow...

okay, I'll keep it as it is for the moment and give a few other people a chance to get back to me.  If no-one minds or no-one else gets back to me I will enable vacation time.

Okay then vacation time has been allowed

are you going to wait untill we have 50 members?

yes, but I'm going to keep inviting people and advertising it

okay....

20 people, only 30 to go...

Now that vacation time is allowed, I'll join!

You never know when you'll be hit by a wrecking ball on the way to the shops...

haha:), yeah those crazy wrecking ball driver's... Always trying to ruin someones day...

Hey if you know anyone else who'll enjoy playing in it send them a link

why do I keep recieving new comment and no new comment?

because I'm typing a new comment and then deleting it to advertise the tournament again

oh, okay...

25 so far, just another 25 needed...
