Rising Tensions - Scheduling Options *Updated (6/5/19)

Update: Thanks for participating in the poll! Our team has gone with the majority vote and Rising Tensions will now be spaced out during the weekday on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday cadence.

Hi Everyone,
As our team was running through next month's scheduling of events, we wanted to get the community's feedback on the scheduling of an event that we know is popular for many: Rising Tensions.
Before anyone asks though, I'm going to answer the question that's likely on everyone's minds: No. We unfortunately are unable to return to the previous pattern of 5 Rising Tensions events each weekday every week.
Now having said that though, we do still have some flexibility in how we can format this pattern moving forward, and we wanted to hear your thoughts! This is why we decided to create a poll for everyone to vote on. This poll will run for the duration of this weekend before we close it on Monday, 6/3.
Here are the available options:
Spaced Out During The Weekday
This option is all about even distribution of the events throughout the entirety of a month. Events would be run on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and they would run every single week.
Condensed During The Weekday - 2 Week Duration
This is the option that is most similar to the old pattern, however instead of running it every single week, it would only be run for 2 weeks each month. (GRN, RNA, skip, skip)
Condensed During The Weekday - Bi-Weekly
Same as the above option, however run at a Bi-Weekly rate, instead of 2 weeks of Rising Tensions back-to-back. (GRN, skip, RNA, skip)
Condensed During The Weekends
This option is for those that like to take that Friday Night Magic excitement and sustain it throughout the weekend. Rising Tensions events would be run on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and they would run every single weekend.
No Preference
This one is pretty straightforward. Any of the options will work for you!

I am between option 1 and 4. I would prefer 4 because job on weekday, but vote for option 1, if the duration is extended to two days.
@brigby - Can you add a message in the inbox so you reach as many players as possible?
MTF is better than nothing I suppose. But you just created part time players.
Again why not make RT available all weekday and totally remove ToTp?
RT is the most beloved compared to totp and anything else.
Alternative @brigby are you willing to substitute where RT is missing with standard events like tour of ravnica and others, on T and TH.
This is highly unlikely I guess.
ToTp a good legacy but hated due to time it takes and difficulty. All other legacy events have poor show rate due to bad reward and ranking. Without daily RT, it's hard to recover from ToTp crystal bleed and RT x 3 is not not enough to make net gains.
The vip is not even priced right to begin with. The value is soo poor as long as the membership gives common and uncommon cards." IF" I were to get ViP I'll only do so when I get all uncommon, common and most rares to finish up the set.
That said I don't mind option 4 either but again like extended time for it due to timezones.
