'Ready' button when a game is starting

Hey Kent, been a while since I posted here =) I hope all is well, we're still doing well.

We've had a large number of players complain about the newish feature of having to hit 'Ready' or being sitting out on the first hand of a game. A lot of our players have to wait for a game to start, and are looking elsewhere when they do finally start, and there is no warning sound giving them enough time to click Ready. Can we either have the ability to remove the 'need to push the button' feature, or have a warning sound say 15 seconds before they have to click the button?

The ready button keeps all the other players from having to wait for the sitters to time out on the first hand. It's also used for the remove no-shows feature. But I'll add a beep when the tourney starts on the next update. I thought I had that already but I just checked and it's currently not making any sound at the start.
