Note that the time estimates are based on 2 days per move. However with vacations and the auto-vacation feature in particular, a few slow players could make this last a lot longer.

Perhaps as people start dying of old age it will speed up a bit!

I think hidden is a bad idea. Personally I think all games should be public and open and all games should count for your rating. This goes for Dark Chess as well of course, where hidden strategies may actually mean something.

I don't think it's possible to set up team tournaments yet. I guess the first one is a test?

In the pair of games Walter mentioned he is rated about 2400 and me about 2000. We have both played between 130 and 150 games.

In the first, I won and moved up 13 points. Walter moved down 8 points. So far so good.

In the second he won and moved up 8 points and I moved down 13 points.

This was a zero gain for both. I would expect to move up a bit after splitting the games. Of course it has worked out well for me when I split against lower players, so I'm not complaining, I just don't think the formula is a good one.
