I like these small thematic tourneys, but I'd like a narrower rating band, say 200pts. I don't mind playing anyone, but I think these learning-centric tourneys are best with people of equal strength. You could run several at once. 1001-1200, 1201-1400, etc.

I'm not really interested in playing a weak player that hangs on to the very end with no winning or drawing chances. Make sure you investigate peoples' games before starting. I am very anti-spartan! Not that it was a problem here but it is in many tournaments.

This is working out well, so 1.e4 c5 will be more players involved.
