grenv: As AbigailII does, I never set vacation days anymore even if I know I'm going to be gone - I just let autovacation take over and use what is needed, and sounds like that will be the only option in the new version. So limiting auto vacation to only 2 sounds like something that will punish many because of the abuse of the few.

I would much rather see possible a limit of vacation days be a settable option on new games/tournaments - for example, setup a tournament that limits 5 vacation days per section (so a total of 1 week with weekend days could be taken by someone in one round), and have the same option in regular games. (Maybe instead of the red dot for no days off, it can be a purple dot to indicate there are other restrictions on days off on the game)

That way you the rules don't punish those who don't care how much vacation someone takes, and still allows those who want to limit vacations, but do not want to play the fisher clock games to have the option to set limits if wanted.
