I think a one weekend event would be preferable either way (online or in
person). Two weekends at most. Every day for a month is a long time to commit,
whether it is automated or not.

Same goes for online events. If it is during the day while everyone is at work,
that takes away a lot of the interaction. You might as well run a home
tournament 24/7 like any of the other people maintaining a rating list.
