On demand tournaments at full tilt

What exactly are these tournaments because I am not sure. Its a new update or something.

FTP included them in it's last update:

A. On Demand Tournaments: Half Sit & Go, half scheduled tournament, this new tournament type kicks off when the required number of players enter (just like a SNG), but then shows up with late registration in the main Tournament lobby.

The $2 180 man SNG, 54 man Super Turbo SNGs, and the Rush 135 man SNGs have been converted to On Demand, and depending on their popularity we'll make adjustments from there. Let us know how you like them.

At the same time, we've changed how the other multi-table SNGs work a bit. Instead of only one registering at a time, a new empty one will always be registering (like how single table SNGs work). This should make it easy to join however many you want to play right away and just wait for them to fill up. Only the SNG with the most players will show up at the top of the Tournament lobby, the rest can be found in the SNG lobby.

I came in 6th out of 337 in one tonight without even realizing what it was until to my astonishment I saw 300 people left instead of 180. I mean, seems like a semi-nifty idea, but I like the $2 180's because of the capped # of runners. Are they ALL going to be On Demand??

I'm with you Eddie. I liked the 180's seem the game will now drag on a lot longer than expected.

Hopefully, 180s and 135 Rush will be back. I really enjoyed those formats. Now, there's multiple people buying in near the end of the late registration period and this come into a luck fest. Since they enter the game short on stack, they try to double up quickly with shove move.. I really hope that those tourney will be back. Why don't offer both the On demand and the regular 180s and 135 Rush?

the 135 rush 4+.40 went pretty quick..this new format stinks because of the late seating up to 2nd round...I signed up and knocked out 4 people pretty quick had a nice stack and there were litterally 100 more people sgned up than when I signed up...thought I was makin headway but it went from 127 -> 227 in 8 minutes and was kind of dissheartening.

Maybe they're just trying new things, and seeing what people like most. If the type of game that you like is no longer offered, let them know by e-mailing them. I'm pretty sure they have an e-mail for suggestions and such at Full Tilt.

thanks fir the info on the the on demand cause i was wondering the same thing about them.
