Posting tournaments in advance

I've mentioned this before in the forum & I think I speak for all of us players (not just myself). To encourage participation, it is necessary that there be 'regularly scheduled' tournaments; furthermore, they should be posted far enough in advance (ideally 24 hours) so that players can 'plan' to be there. For example, late Sunday evening a tournament was posted for 12:30 Monday. Quite by chance, I noticed the posting just before I went to bed. Monday, only myself & PhantomMenace signed up. If it HAD been posted earlier, perhaps more players would have been available to play.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
