Why do you think the NPS tournament is a waste of time?

My view, in total 30 >>4:30 vs 45:00<< games will be played. Imagine
the following possible scores:

a) 4:30 vs 45:00   5 - 25    --> Speed is decisive.
b) 4:30 vs 45:00  10 - 20    --> My expectation.
c) 4:30 vs 45:00  13 - 17    --> Speed is not decisive.

>Please keep on doing the good work on normal 40/2:00.

I will, I am expecting a positive answer for sponsoring CCL. This
means I will get 6 top Pc's for the use of CCL. I then can move CCL
to these six machines (so more games) and use the PII-266/64 I am
using now for CCL for the NPS tournament.
