Any chance it could be brought forward 6 hours so that it's not 1.00 AM in Australia?

Or could we maybe have another one for people who live on the other side of the world?

Just asking coz it would be nice to have the chance to play it more often.

i have no idea if its possible,but i suppose the fairest way would be to rotate the start time every week to cover uk/europe..america/canada...ausrtalia

then everyone would get a chance to play atleast once every 3 weeks

exactly what i feared, stevo. I really relate to your comments.

T B H, i think that is an excellent idea. Why should it be mainly open to european players when we have so many players from all over the world who would equally like to play the mammoth tourny but cant due to the time.

If it was to rotate each hour i think we would find that it would become more exclusive and more so a tournie to win.

i love the mammoth and would defo get up in the early hours of the morning to play it.

Yep 3.00 am here too when we had daylight saving Aus.

I understand your point Future and I didnt mean anything untoward with my remarks.

I think you may have come up with the best answer T B H

Mammoth tournament is the only remaining one counting for toplist and which does not offer 4 editions to target all time zones... If it wouldn't exist I wouldn't create it but I won't delete it now.
I have no fix that would please everyone and moving it will always be an issue for someone else due to the other tournaments around too.

love the mammoth and feel for those in different times zones who cant play but with the intro of the new ultra fast tourny for outlaws ,how about a return to our old ultra fast tourny we used to play on saturdays and put this in a better time zone for those who cant play mammoth

What I mean is I prefer to avoid any one time per day tournament and try to focus on tournaments available for all time zones only.

So let me get this straight. If someone lends you 500K and you entered and won Mammoth. You would give them their 500K back, plus another 250K................out of the 6 Mil+ that you would have won!!!!!

Man your tight LOL

I guess the timing is a bit of a predicament when it comes to trying to please all of us, so that's fair enough. Maybe I'll have a late night session every third week or so. Still get to play it then.

please remember this is strictly against the rules ans classed as "chip dumping"
which would lead to a ban.
