Shorten Ready-Go Playing Time

  Can you reduce the alloted time frame to play from 12 hours to 6 hours or less? According to the title, a Ready-Go is supposed to played after entering. You should be "ready" to play.

  It seems like the RG's take forever to pay out, and it isn't necessary.

  Been asking for this for a while.  Never understood the 12 hour waiting period for a "Ready" Go tourney.

  I entered the 1000cr RG yesterday. Then my internet crashed and didn't come back on. Thankfully there's a 12 hour limit and i was able to play it this morning. Keep it the way it is please wgt.

  Yup seen a few threads about this but can't remember seeing a reply from WGT.

  It does seem to be win-win for us (less time waiting for that 50th person to not bother playing so more RGs available to play) and for WGT (faster RG turnaround so more rake = more dosh).

  Maybe Pizza can look at this on Monday for us.

  Point taken Dazza but how often does that happen ?

  Wouldn't you rather have more RGs available to play ? 4 hours would give 99.9% of the entrants plenty of time to get their round in.

  I do agree 12 hours is too long...but there it is.

  12 hours is half a day. Most players who play all of the RG's get those RG's done way before 12 hours. I don't even see the point. It already takes long enough for the Rg's to fill up, so why not be more time efficient. 

  It's a win-win situation. The faster RG's are available, the more money we spend. The more money we make from the RG's the more rake you get. Kapeesh?

  WGT came up with this "ball speed boost" to allow faster play. So players that like to play fast and play RGs can now hurry up and wait. Makes no sense.

  Why not just test 3 or 4 "quick play" RGs? Make them 3 or 4 hours after filled. People would love them.
