For Robot Tournaments (IMPs and MPs) my preference is to with play in live games vs. the past hands of Instant Tournaments. At Robot Tournament events I "lurk" in IMP & MP games where the field is close to 15 as the time to start winds down... and do not join the tourney if the field does not exceed 14 in the last few seconds. Often in the last few seconds you see players entering the tournament hoping the field will reach 15 or exit the tournament because the field is too few. Makes me believe I'm not the only "lurker" waiting / hoping the field will get to 14, where my entry gets the field to 15.

Consider adding "Commit ≥ 15" Button to GIB Robot Duplicate IMP & MP games where "lurkers" could conditionally (Field ≥ 15) register for the game. Also consider extending the start time an additional 10 seconds or so when Registered Field + Lurkers ≥ 13.

The result may be more live games where the field reaches 15 or more.
