I'll just say this about vacation time and tournaments, it's stupid to allow it in my opinion. I started a tournament that allows vacation last November, and it isn't even in Round 3 yet, because people take vacation on purpose to delay the tournament's progression and/or because they (maybe rightly) believe that their opponent(s) will give up or completely forget about the tournament because of the days and weeks of vacation being taken.

Vacation is BS. With all the ways to connect to the internet, there is no reason to delay games except that you either bit off more than you can chew, or you are a lazy chessplayer, end of story period.
When I glanced at this topic, I was sure you had asked about TMNTs, i.e. teenage mutant ninja turtles and chess.
Personally I like Splinter.

I like:
No Vacation, 1 day per move, 12 player, 22 simultaneous games, single round, rating range 400 pts.
Tpournys like these can complete in 2-3 weeks, which is good for me because I'm limited to 10 tourneys. It will also be good for free members.

The time allowed for vacation is very generous and can be abused. I use it occassionally when I am not feeling well but my addiction to on-line chess brings me back quickly .

I put vacations in all my tnmts because I wanna play in my own thematic tnmts and I need vacations mostly due to time-mismanagement on my part (but occasionally due to the rest of my life intefering with chess)
Everyone else here's my far from popular T-N-M-T offerings (NOT T-M-N-T) although I now can see why some of you got confused :=)

I've started 8 different thematic tnmts with openings I'm interested in, but apparently no one else is. So I was just wondering what everyone else prefers in general:
1. What is your favorite/least favorite Time Limit for tnmts here?
2. Do you prefer vacation/no vacation tnmts, or don't you care either way?
3. Do you prefer rated/unrated tnmts? (I'm guessing rated by a big majority)
4. Premium members - do you prefer premium member only tnmts?
5. Do you prefer open tnmts or class section tnmts (ie under 1800, over 1800, 1600 - 2000 or whatever)
6. Do you prefer tnmts anyone can join or by invitation only?
7. What openings/variations would you be interested in for a thematic tnmt?
Thanks in advance for any questions here you feel like answering!
