When the Start Time is set to 0000-00-00 00:00, is it possible to have the Minimum Players setting force the tournament to start.

For Example

Minimum players: 3

When 3 players are registered, the tournament begins.

If not, maybe it's possible to make a combo setting such as IF Start Now and Minimum Players are set to the same number, then the tournament begins.

Finally, if that isn't feasible either, then perhaps moving the *Start Now button to the Registration PopUp or the Registration Confirmation PopUp instead of having players open up the Players window in order to click *Start Now.

You can do that using the "Start time hold" setting, up to 15 minutes.

But the Start Time is set to 000-00-00 00:00, so start time hold doesn't work.

Sorry, misread that part. There's no such thing as a sit & go with late registration so you would need to use the API to do what you described automatically. I.e., setup a manual start tourney with late registration, use the callback event system to monitor the registration status, and then call TournamentsStart in the API when your registration threshold is met.

No worries, this is under "Wish List" also

What I'm looking for is either

1) a situation where the Minimum Players setting would be the instigator for starting tournaments that have a Start Time set to 0000-00-00 00:00
(currently the Minimum Players setting is ignored if the Start Time is set to 0000-00-00 00:00)

or

2) a more efficient way for players to easily click *Start Now with the current setup by possibly placing the *Start Now check box on the registration popup or the registration confirmation popup instead of in it's current location which requires an extra step by the players
(I believe I'm correct in thinking that there is Late Registration for *Start Now tournaments)
