Each of the operators sends in a move as soon as it is computed. The first one that arrives (regardless of whether the second move is somehow better [which it really should not be if things are done right]) is played. If one of the two persons is consistently late (15 positions submitted per month should be mimimum) then they are replaced by an alternate. Requires a lot more players, but it would allow the games to move along at a much faster 'klip'
