OK, so Gauntlet IV has finished and congratulations to Fimanoid, BeeJall and IllestIrish for the close finish.
This could be a little premature but I'd like to see what Gauntlet players think about reverting back to a Sunday afternoon (EST) game instead of Saturday.
The weekend turnouts for the last two Gauntlet seasons were:
Gauntlet III (Sunday)
Game 1: 53
Game 3: 44
Game 5: 39
Game 7: 21
Game 9: 25
Game 13: 35
Game 15: 19
Game 17: 20
Game 19: 15
Game 22: 13
Game 23: 18
Game 24: 20
Total: 322 (avg. from 12 games: 26.8 entrants)
Gauntlet IV (Saturday)
Game 2: 13
Game 4: 8 (LHE game)
Game 6: 17
Game 8: 17
Game 10: 12
Game 12: 20
Game 14: 14
Game 16: 12
Game 18: 13
Game 20: 16
Game 22: 8
Game 24: 15
Total: 165 (avg. from 12 games: 13.75 entrants)
My preference is for a Sunday game (as Saturday clashes with my social life). Based on these figures, I could guess that Sunday favours a lot of others also.

Sunday. Saturday was a hassle for me and I started avoiding them because of the low turnout.

Against that heinous background, my crimes were pale and meaningless. I was a relatively respectable citizen - a multiple felon, perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.

Sundays during football season? Though, your numbers are quite convincing.

I also would probably prefer Sundays, though I'll probably play on Saturdays anyway.

All the numbers point to Sunday and it would be great to see some big turn outs.
Looking forward to a full season, since I came in on the late end of this one.

Season V won't be for a little while, but you've persuaded me. The weekend games will be moved back to Sundays.
Does Sunday at the usual time of 3:00pm ET still work for most everyone?

Me likey
edit: assuming there has to be one on the weekend, this time is probably the best. I'd prefer two weeknight games per week though.

Don't matter to me. I would like to get back into this though... I've been on IR since Season 1.
When do you think the new season will start?

That's noon for the west coast. You're only allowed to play in 1/2 the tourneys anyway. So 9 Wed, 3 Sun would cut it. You don't have to be there everyweek.
