Feel free to suggest (or vote) for a tournament schedule and format

My initial thoughts  are for 3 nights a week, on the same evenings that the clubs usually meet (ie Monday, Tuesday and Thursday). As for time controls, we can use different ones on different evenings.

I've already had 5m+3s suggested, plus a request for something a little slower!

Great idea now that the over the board club meetings are suspended, happy with blitz 5m + 5s and also rapid format, just tailoring the # of rounds to keep events to around 2 hours.

Maybe a slower time control such as 15 minutes?

Yes, 3 nights a week would be great - but I think one of the nights should include a slower time control - say 10+5 or 15+3. The longer time could be a 9-round played over 3 weeks.

I like Bjorn's idea of a 9 round tournament (15+5 maybe?) played over 3 weeks, provided that's possible to set up.

A longer time control night for me, too. Maybe 15+ 5 / 10?

Time format for rapid should be 10+2/3 not 10+0?
