A possible reason is that I have had requests appear only after I have accepted the ones appearing earlier. I remember before more requests could appear together after reset but now only fewer do so together. Another request appears after acceptance so if you only send 20 requests to players who play daily they might not see your requests immediately. Your request appears after they accept requests appearing before yours.I believe this happens since I experienced it. Other reasons kappy333 wrote may also have happened. I just try be patient and wait for my nbrs to accept. This time took me about a day or less after reset but not sure sent abt 10-15 requests to get 9 acceptance. For me since I'm in time zone 12 hrs away from US time I wait and got acceptances when my nbrs are awake and playing. Sorry if chezkaye13 wait 2 days to get nine tickets.
