It seems that in go 19x19 a new round was started approximately every month.  But no new one since and of November now. Is something stuck?

Another infinity game has started for me now (not go 19x19 though), so infinity is definitely not entirely stuck.

At least 200 games still active so maybe too many to allow next round to be produced

Some are 6 rounds old (only had a quick look)

I'm in Chess, Chess-960, Havannah-4, and Go-9x9. About a month ago, they all started forming much more slowly.

OK, thanks, I'll just be more patient. :-)

Yes, it's the same for the toroidal go infinity tournament. It used to give me around 6 games at once, and now I'm down to 3 - of which 2 are nearly over.

Algorithm was changed. Now is start a new round when every player play one game or less (as average). Originally it was 1.5 game later 2.0 games.

This seems too slow in my opinion.

I also prefer the previous setting. The current one is not starting new games often enough for me. I would be happy having multiple games on at once, in the toroidal go infinity tournament. (At the moment I just have one open game, and strategically the game is already over.)

It's interesting how, whatever the chosen value of the setting, players who are dragging out their lost games rather than resigning are in some way  penalising all players (by raising the average number of ongoing games). I hadn't realised that before.

Maybe a different system could be used. One idea: a voting page for each infinity tournament: a new round is started after x% of the participants vote in favour of it. (It's just an idea…) And maybe with an upper bound to the number of open rounds.

Voting will not work, too much effort to check out the page, vote etc. - they shall start automatically. Maybe the parameter shall be more liberal, BUT each player could set his own cap on number of his games?

maybe one game or less left for non members

and

two games or less for members

I think I asked about this once long ago: that is, “what determines when we get new games?“… I thought it was just a new game was started ever so often, for example a new game every 40 days or something like that. I have usually had 2-4 Infinite Toroidal-Go games going at the same time, like one a few moves in, one about 1/2 way done, and one almost done - with some variation depending on how the games go and how quickly plays are made… Anyway, right now I'm like Malcolm Schonfield (At the moment I just have one open game, and strategically the game is already over… because I'm getting my butt kicked by cloudbank!)  because I just resigned my game against him/Malcolm, who also kicked my butt!!! It sucks to be me this week. ;-)

Anyway, I think a slower reload rate is preferred… those who want to play more games can always send out invites… I prefer quality games over quantity.   :)

Has the algorithm been changed recently?
