I think there must be a lot of players on chess.com that would like to play in a tournament that would start and finish in say one month or even less time ? My first otb tournament was called a " quad" and in the early 70s quads were quite popular. You split the players up into groups of 4 with ratings as similar as possible. Then they play a roundrobin ( or double roundrobin might be better in this environment while not practical in otb) , the winner of each quad is a winner and the tourney is over. To speed things up here you might limit time to 1 move / day and also only let people enter that have fast move time average. Another thing is tie breaks if necessary. I think if two players are tied ( more than 2 in a quad is very unlikely ) the game between the tied players should decide, if they drew then the player with black pieces in that game should get the nod ( unless black is higher rated by say 200 or more points in which case white wins on tiebreak) . I would very much like to play in such tournies if you do decide to have them in the future. If such tournies already exist here I am unaware of them and hope someone will inform me immediately ! 

This sounds like a really good idea, and i would absolutely participate in one of those. Would be nice to be in a tournament that didnt last 6 months.

I think it would be possible to set up a similar tournament. I will try to create one myself.

I had some quads set up recently just like that. 1 day/move, fast players, both games at once, some had rating restrictions. I had some interest at first but then the last two just sat there with no one entering. I'd be happy to start them up again.

Three seast available for fast 2200+ players. Come join the fun!

OK, a few VIP players will have a chance to grab those seats before "going public"

I would certainly be interested. These tournaments that go on for more than 6 months can be frustrating at times... Count me in!

Yeah we still do quads in Birmingham for quick chess.
