I'm interested in learning club members' preferences for Daily Chess tournaments. Please give input on the following settings:
- Time control (1 day per move, etc.)?
- Maximum number of simultaneous games that you would want to play in a tournament?
- Vacation or no vacation?
- Limited by rating or other factors?
For example, I (jsdavis) prefer 1 day/move, with no vacation, but could do 2 or 3 days/move. I prefer 4-8 games maximum at the same time, and I don't want a tournament to last forever with multiple rounds starting in the unknown future (which you get, for example, by having 30 players with 5 players in a group, with vacation). Therefore, I tend to like tournaments of 5 - 9 people, with only 1 round. (This means 4 - 8 games at a time, one game at a time per opponent, with a 2nd game starting as soon as the first one ends.) As soon as everyone finishes those games, the tournament is over. For CCC purposes, I'll play any rating, but also like tournaments with ratings limited to near mine.
As the club admin, I'm willing to set up tournaments of whatever players want to play in.
