Subject: 3 wins

Is the 3 wins match unlimited in terms of the number of games? I am about to be in a 3 wins match for checkers, which can go on forever. Many of the strongest players won by scores of 1-0 with 31 draws, or 2-1 with 48 draws. With days to make a move, the odds are a player could go on forever without winning 3 games.

Subject: Re: 3 wins

I agree, in games where a draw is possible a points match is much much better. For games where a draw is impossible (like Backgammon) it makes no difference. Therefore I would prefer if tournaments were points instead of games.

Also, I would expect the matches to count as more than one game for the rankings, and the match score to be counted (e.g if I win 2-1 against a low rated player my rating probably goes down etc). Is this the case?
