At the yahoo spades any player have 180 seconds to play before force forfeit... but it doesn´t work, because many player use the time bank to hold the game, stalling for 170 seconds per card, so he wait someone tired go away and he win some points.
U yahoo have to change this, 20 or 25 seconds is enought for play a card, or give then a total time like 500 seconds per player to use for all the game like in chess.
Please yahoo change this 180s per card... it just have no sense, and many players are stalling the game.

One annoying feature presently for the brackets is the fact that it is not random at all. If you have a group of players in the lobby, that does not change for a while, signing in to tournaments on calendar you keep playing the same players over & over in the same order and even more frustrating the same players get the byes. So it gets to be very unfair. I believe the brackets are based on an “alphabetical” system. I would like another algorithm to be used for that purpose so it would be totally random and therefore improve our gaming experience. This would be a great improvement and would benefit all multiplayer game rooms in Yahoo! Games All-Star Leagues.

I would like to be able to set a timer when creating a table for freeform tournaments like it exists in Literati games. Since the feature exists it should be possible to apply it to other multiplayer game rooms. I seem to remember there used to be a timer in the cribbage game rooms when I started playing on Yahoo! Games 7 years ago. But maybe I am wrong about that.

It would also be very helpful to see the countdown at the table for calendar tournaments (all are set with a max round length). The players would know how much time they have left when playing timed games. I am a moderator/co-owner at The Castle League (http://leagues.games.yahoo.com/league/thecastle/home).

Since it is possible to have 2 to 5 players in multiple player games like in Literati for example, I would like to have a cribbage set up where you can have 3 players sitting at a table; that means each player receives 5 cards and 1 card is dealt to the “crib”. Then each player throws 1 card to the “crib” for a total of 4 cards in crib. The rest of the play is as usual and of course the first player to reach 121 points or 61 points is the winner.

Tired of getting the worst hands all the time in traditional cribbage? Then Lowball Cribbage (also known as Reverse Cribbage or Losers Cribbage) would be a fun variation to offer to our members in our leagues! In this game, players must score the fewest points to advance to the next round or win the match at the end of the tournament (head to head or partnership games). This format is of course unrated and could be single or double elimination. Yahoo would declare winner the player(s) with the fewest points.

I would like to have the possibility to create Lowball tournaments directly on calendar or at least be able to create a table with a lowball setting in freeform tournaments. This feature could also apply to other leagues like dominoes, euchre etc...
