Tournaments are always active on weekends. I understand that under normal circumstances, it in theory would allow most people to participate. This is because most work and school schedules may allow weekends off. I propose that we change this up, particularly during the shut down. JWA has already done such a great job keeping players engaged during shut down, so I’m hoping they are open to more suggestions.
For me in particular, I work weekends, and I know a lot of other people who do as well. With shelter-in-place active, most “essential” employees will also continue to work weekends, well because their work is essential every day of the week.
With my line of work and with current circumstances of shelter-in-place, things have become extremely difficult and hellish, I find absolutely no time to visit the game on the days I have to work (including off work time because I am so exhausted and have other personal priorities). Considering a large portion of the population is not working at all - and the employees who are working are most likely also working weekends, why not change up the way the tournament operates? Every other tournament could easily take place during the weekdays to allow those players a chance to participate and gain the awesome rewards JWA is offering. Whether that means there is 2 tournaments a week, or a week and a half between tournaments.
Just a suggestion, as I would really love to contribute to my alliance during the testacornibus championship that is currently active. That is my rant, thanks for coming to my TED talk.
