My proposition still is to be more lenient with TV limits. Perhaps the NA crowd could tolerate more inducements in their games in order to get any?

That doesn't do anything when there aren't enough coaches. |

Haven't ever been to cyanide really but heard legends about two coaches only playing each other being on the top at their equivalent of the box. |

I also don´t think the 4 player rule should be lowered. But the TV rule could so it is likely to schedule as much as possible. Like if there are 2+ coaches left after first scheduler run, scheduling in a second run with the TV rule like currently in ranked.

I have a lot of trouble getting [B] games in my normal hours as well. It's painful activating over and over, and frustrating not to find a match. I don't think it's necessarily a small range of different coaches at those times as such, just a small number activating at any given time. The numbers Sutherlands mentions fluctuate, so it's not like it's the same two coaches activating over and over, there appears to be a number of coaches trying and giving up over that stretch of time.
Reducing the minimum number of players seems wrong, but increasing the acceptable TV difference, increasing the time between activations, and accepting only being able to match 2 out of 4 all sound like they could help. |

what about the 2~3 not scheduled coaches joining the gamefinder after a failed round, just pick up any game (throw a dice in fumbbl chat for instance) and will be the same feeling as the box. |

We look for that and permaban them in FOL. It's happened once on 9 months. Admittedly that't the times I'm aware of, but if I'm not aware of it then they're not near the top of the standings and aren't doing a particularly good job of cheating! |

you know...i hear there's a division called Ranked that only requires 2 coaches to "activate" to participate in a game....
you should look into it...

I would like to see if this happens
A vs B
C and D not scheduled if they are too far apart
So at least 1 game gets scheduled but 4 coaches joined |
That would be nice as well. |
Last time I paid attention 1 match with 4 activating coaches WAS possible? |

@fela: no
@shadow: ranked is also pretty empty at those times.
@koadah: I'm already in two leagues |

That was a joke really. 
But still, [L]eague is not just for leagues.
I think Shadow's point is that if no games are scheduled then you shout out "who wants a [R]anked game then". i.e. you only wait another few seconds to play the same coach you would have played anyway. |
