It's usually hard to find enough players for RT. One will have to exit the staging area and spam the classic and custom areas advertising a tournament game. Is it possible for that alert sound when a new RT game is created to sound on all three areas? That is, can you add the notification of a newly created game to the classic and custom lobbies? That would help with getting enough player to fill an RT game. Thanks
More possible thoughts on RT, although I do very much like your idea of an "all room alert sound" for RT. The problem with that is that they would then need new sounds (possibly) to differentiate between "you have a duel request" and "there is a roundtable game that has been created".
Anyway.. other ideas:
1) Make it possible to post the "RT advertisements" in both the other rooms FROM the RT room (and specifically, from created but not yet started tournament area).
2) Allow a listing of players to be accessed from anywhere so you can send personal messages no matter what you are doing.
3) Allow an option to show your status as "away from keyboard" if you get a personal message or duel, so the noise does not bother you.
4) If someone sits for an extended period of time in the RT area and does not join or start a duel, disconnect them or move them to one of the other rooms. It is very frustrating to see 3 people in the tournament room, go there thinking you might be able to play, and have all 3 of them be away from the keyboard for hours doing nothing but taking up space.
5) Make it an option so the AM game comes to the top of your screen, or the box on your taskbar flashes, or something, if a tournamnet game you are queued in has something happen (it starts or a player joins or leaves). Sometimes while waiting for a tournament I go online or do other things on my computer, only to find the tournament has already started when I come back to it and I missed the alert sound.

As hard as it was to get players in Round Table Tournament back in Oct 2009, it's much harder now. If you haven't played RT, please give it a chance. It is the best part of the game!
