It is truely baffling that you bring this up now.

During the tournament I had _many_ requests for a blitz tournament.

The reasoning given was that many people today use program to play online and
blitz is the main time control. These were the suggestions:

1. 9 round DDR (Double Round Robin)10 0 tournament
2. 12 round DDR 5 3 tournament
3. 9 round swiss 25 0, but have 3 qualification tournaments, with 10 programs in
the finals.

All sound interesting especially the DDR events where you would play a single
opponent with white and black.

It would also be possible to play all of these in one day, rather than a
weekend.

I would be more than willing to schedule something for it. I think that would be
extremely fun.
