San Jose, Costa Rica – September 11, 2013 - Who
says poker players have to wait forever for the next big tournament to start?
Americas Cardroom today announced the launch of On Demand Tournaments, a cross
between Sit 'n Go tournaments and multi-table tournaments offering the best of
both worlds. The feature is part of a software update that also includes a
Preferred Seating feature.
"Here we go again, enhancing our software with new features that
are driven by player feedback," said Americas Cardroom spokesperson
Michael Harris. "On Demand Tournaments are designed for every player who
wants to experience the heated competition of a large-scale multi-table
tournament without having to wait for a scheduled start time. We know they're
going to be hugely popular."
Just like Sit 'n Go events, On Demand Tournaments begin the second the specified number of players have been seated in the tournament. For example, in an On Demand tournament with 50 available open seats, the tournament will get underway as soon as all 50 seats are filled. The tournament will then fall into late registration and will continue to accept player buy-ins for a specific period of time just as a regular multi-table tournament.
There are no scheduled start times associated with On Demand Tournaments, making them ideal for poker players who prefer not to play on a specific schedule.
On Demand Tournaments isn't the only addition to Americas Cardroom. The US-friendly online poker site has also introduced Preferred Seating. Poker players can now choose their preferred seat when sitting down in heads-up, 6-handed, 8-handed, and 9-handed poker games. Poker players can preset their preferred seats, and when they sit down to play, the table will automatically rotate to seat them in their preferred position.

Cliffs regarding the software update from the respective 2+2 thread:
1) We are releasing on demand tournaments.
For anyone that doesnt know what these are. An OD tourney is an STT that will start when an x number of players register. Lets say you need 6 players to start. Once these 6 have registered, the tournament will then go into a late registration state for the desired time and continue as an MTT. These will be showing in the top of the tournament lobby.
2) Preferred seating is finally here. If you go to options in the lobby and then table options you will see a tab for preferred seating. You will then be able to pick your preferred seat for 2,6,8 and 9 seater tables.
3) Auto timebank. Another thing you guys have been asking for, been a long time coming. Again you go to the options from the lobby then the general tab. You will then see an option for Auto Engage Time Bank. Click this option and your all set.
4) Highlighted tables. Once you are in a ring game or registered for a tournament. The Font will change and so will the colour so you can clearly see what tables you are playing or what tournaments you are registered for.
5) Ante Animations. FINALLY we will now have simultaneous antes in the tournaments. No more taking from individual players which will speed up the game play alot.
6) Folded Cards. Now, once you have folded your cards you can hover over your nameplate and this will show you your folded hand.
7) Straddle notification. This is a small thing but when a player straddles in a ring game it will now be clear in the nameplate that they have straddled.
