    Suggestions for next Showdown season

    There was a thread for this topic already, but I can't find it.
    Did I somehow delete it by using my back button on browser when posting to it yesterday or editing my post? Or was it moved by a moderator?

    Sorry for the duplicate thread if the other one still exists.

    This was my comment: (Thank goodness I had copied text to clipboard. Too lazy to retype it all.)

    The most important feature is to be able to choose your opponent. What's the point of having friends if you can't challenge them, or have a friendly rivalry all season long.

    Also need to add a feature that asks you at the end of a showdown if you would like to challenge the same person to a rematch. Could make it interesting by adding double or nothing option to your chip winnings. Keep the button active for 10 minutes. If both players click yes, a new showdown between them starts immediately. If only 1 person presses yes, or if someone presses no, or if timer expires, then go to normal matchmaking routine, except exclude re matching with same opponent.

    Personally, I am enjoying the 10 minute blitz. Nice change of pace from 24 hour grind, but that was a good model. Having consistent showdown ending times is good for most people I bet.

    For a shortened showdown season, I think that 1 hour matches would be good.

    For super short 'Blitz' showdowns, a better model (than 10 min clock) would have been to allow 3 tries per track. Best fault/time takes track. Have a 30 minute time limit to end the showdown for no-shows and connection issues.

    was deleted do not know why. Mine was 7 tracks instead of 3, with half an hour of time, with infinite tickets without knowing the time of the opponent, but also understand the opinion that had Flooodi, as it can be frustrating not knowing the time of the opponent and also try get the best time possible in 7 tracks in just half an hour, and the other idea I saw was that of mati_sport, if I remember correctly it was just a ticket, who consiguiese fastest time in the first attempt, won.

    How about an option, 10min. showdowns or 24hr. both with different loot wheel prizes to make them both appealing to play. Time length subject of showdowns could be different.

    I think the 10 minute showdowns were a step in the right direction. It was a much more unique experience than what was essentially replicating times from the leaderboards. I still think the Bike Race structure is a bit better but this is much better than the 24 hour showdowns of prior seasons.

    4 Hours showdowns with 8 mins for each ticket regen will be awesome,just saying.

    I'd love to see 15 total tickets, 30 minutes. I know they couldn't sell Goldens that way, but it would be a great setup.
