Very Fast Players tournament

Time Control: 3 days/move
Max Group Size: 10
Rating Range: Open
# Advance: 1
Tie Breaks: No
Points Available: 541
Games Rated: Yes
Max Avg Time/Move: 3 hours
Max Timeout: 2%
Vacation: No

If you like to play games quickly (relatively speaking, for online chess), this is the tournament for you! No vacations, so you don't have to worry about someone stalling the tournament for a month. The three-day time control allows you to take an occasional break, but for the most part, I am hoping that everyone will average at least a few moves per game per day.

I will probably start it on Monday.

3 days per move is "very fast"?

No. In order to get into the tournament, your average move speed has to be very fast.

If I had more choice of time controls, I would do something different. However, 1 day per move plus no vacation is too inflexible. I would rather ease up on the time controls than allow vacations.
