I see your point, Borin. Also understand what you're saying about spreading the player pool too thin. I don't think it would be too bad across 4 time limits, but this might all be hypothetical anyway. I'll definitely be asking the question of the decision makers though as I think there's been some good points raised here.
the relative difference between 1-2 minutes and 5-10 minutes should be obvious, don't make me mention the A word!
ever considered SNG's with min players to start and a 1-2 level late reg, so sngs start pretty quickly when the threshold is met, but the prizepool can keep building for the first level?
Quick bit of extra feedback for Dave, as you asked - as a purely rec player with limited time to play I would love to see a 'standard' and a 'turbo' option with levels just like you posted above. I'm getting a bit bored with DYMs and I would play this type of SnG as excellent practice for bigger MTTs, particularly if there's plenty of low-stakes games. So overall I would probably play more, which is what Sky wants I presume. Bring it on :-)
Would also be nice to see some 18 man SNG's ,which last about 3 hours. Posted by rancid
I hope (am 99% sure) that is a joke Rancid lol.
I'd love some 18 man SnGs, maybe some bigger ones too. Possibly highlight them in the SnG lobby @ the top regardless of search options (at first) same as MEs in the MTT lobby so everyone is aware and I'm sure they'd fill up, but I wouldn't like a 18 man SnG to last more than about 90 mins.

I'd stick 18 man sng's in the MTT section. They'd fill up much quicker.

Thanks for the bump, Lambert. We are actually doing some work on this today hopefully so I'll come back with some news for you later today. Posted by Sky_Dave
Just to let you know, we've made some progress on this one. We'll be making some tweaks on Monday and I'll post in here once we're on the cusp of them hitting the site.

Let's not get forget about this. People want SnGs just not in their current format
