grenv: I think 2 rounds may be optimistic, too. 18 players so far and several weeks to recruit more. Only the board readers know about it so far as it's not on the tourneys front yet. And if volant fancies doing a broadcast to a bunch of players from the Backgammon rankings .... Also, we should go by the average of the slowest rather than everyone, so perhaps 4.88 days per move.
We could have us a 10-year tournament!
Frolind's 21pt tourney from October is racing ahead.
