In the history of Chess.com, has a tournament of at least 100 players and 14 day time control been completed? If so, how LONG did it take?
I doubt it as most of the 3 day time control tournaments go on forever- all it takes is one person to go on vacation.
When I played in ICCF events with post cards, it was not unusual for a section to last a couple years.
Official tournaments are at faster time controls. Members are limited to 100 player tournaments. You can see for yourself the completed 100 player tournaments.
This is currently the leading candidate to be the first.
The first round isn't even finished yet!
Yes, I was eliminated from the Tek it EZ tournament (not such a bad thing in hind-sight I think ). Watching the glacial progress of the first round moved me to post this topic. It is kind of ironic that apparently something has happened to the tournament director as he has not logged into Chess.com since November 10, 2008, but his tournament keeps plodding along anyway.
96 players, 14 days/move and 6(2)->3, meaning that there will have to be at least 5 rounds, and probably more.

Yes, the TD is the slowest player. My bet is July 2014. If we all live that long.
