coan.net: Thanks for your reply, and I will follow your directions. I enjoyed the "no days off" as I played in that tournament and was so surprised of the time spent on that tournament. Many players complain about the times, and some are playing games that started 2 years ago. I can't speak for others, but can suggest from players at the friendship club 2 that they don't like long limit games, and since I make them 3 days or less, many more are playing. I guess if we had "shorter" team tornaments, we could enjoy more team events, Nobody complained to me about the no days off backgammon tournament as well.
