| I voted Sunday. After not playing in Season 4, I am ready to play again. I think count 12 of 15 is good, but would be down for 8 of 10 or so. |

Are there any requirements for playing in the MBJ season games? I've never played in one before. |

I'd say 10 or 15 weeks would be good, but no more than that. I also like the idea of waiting a few weeks into the HORSE season to start. It doesn't really matter to me what day it's played on, but probably earlier on in the week would be best.
Since I didn't play the last season (except for one or two of them), how does it work for only, say, 12 of the 15 weeks counting? Do only the first 12 weeks that you play count for you, or can you play 15 if you want and have the top 12 count? |

For the last two seasons, the first 15 events (out of a season of 20 events) you participated in counted.

I went with Sunday because Sunday equals Monday to me.......and Japan is giving me six months of unemployment insurance instead of the usual three so any day is okay as long as this takes place during the rainy season (ends July 15th).
So, any day is okay with me. The time of the event is the largest concern: I am GMT + 9 which makes me 13 hours ahead of EDT. 1pm - 6:59pm EDT tends to be a killer.
Sleep can be a cruel thing to keep out of the eyes.
As for 10 or 20?
10+
20 stretches into August and that is a guaranteed eight days at the beach not counting the war in the streets during the middle of the month.....which we NEVER miss.....even for poker.

| A shorter summer season is cool. I also think a later start might be in order such as 9 p.m. so people can get home from there daily activity. Monday to Thursday or Sunday. Friday or Saturday should always be out as people can't commit to them. |

10-15 seems adequate. I voted for Sunday. 19:00 or 20:00 server time would be good.
I also like the idea of a future series with alternating games. |

I"m all for shortening the season. 20 weeks is a grind. I propose one of the following:
15 weeks with 10 tournies allowed
12 weeks with 8 tournies allowed
10 weeks with 7 tournies allowed
Personally, i think the 12W/8T makes the most sense. It shortens it considerably, and with a month break in between for break and TOC, allows for 3 seasons per year. Also, 8/12 is not a huge commitment
Anything between 19:00 and 22:00 server time works for me, as i am a teacher and won't have to worry too much about getting up for work the next day. I still think sundays are the best nights, although i know that doesn't work for some unfortunately. But a Fri or Sat is just out of the question, and during the week is tough if its too late. |

+1 to this from me. It is sometimes quite difficult for everyone to make the entire season where you need 15 from 20, so I like the idea of a little more freedom to miss a couple of weeks where necessary.
Sunday nights is probably OK for me, but being a Euro most of the time, 7pm or 8pm EST works best. |
