User blog comment:LucasH181/Tournament Change: Opinions on Update/@comment-25856498-20160919110932

Personally if you want your clanmates to join the tourney, I would recommend "visible to clan" as well as tell them the tournament tag for maximum guarantee that they can find it. You can even password-protect the tournament before opening it up to the rest of the player base, so that your clanmates can join, since you do have your 2 hours anyways.

IMO I don't really like the fixed length of tourneys either. 2 hour prep time, while it can be skipped by the host if they start early, is a little bit too much lol especially if the host forgets about it. It also cuts down on customization. Sure, it is simpler, but where's the customization options? It's called a "custom tourney" for a reason, you know...

Introduction of new cards: personally I was disappointed about this one even though I don't play. It seems like going two weeks at a time is a way for SC to eke out every last cent from players like us through the card packs. They have their reasons, though.
