On a wild tangent, I've tried to tell people this about the League of Legends queue system for the highest tiers.
Instead of having random queue times, set the games to launch at predictable times (such as every 15 or 20 minutes). The matchmaking gets much easier, and everyone knows how long they have to wait. Hold some people on the cusp for the high tier queue, and after it goes you can release anyone who doesn't make it back into the general pool.
But it's the same concept. Don't make people wait for a random time between 2 minutes and 45 minutes, where they have to be attentive the whole duration. Just tell them when to show up.
