From a spectators perspective the most important thing is to find the winner while everyone is logged on and watching. The following weekend everyone has forgotten about CCT, for 96% of all the participants the tournament is over and in the past already. I certainly wouldn't expect a lot of people to log on just to watch one game, so if we don't have time (remember some people are up at 2 am to finish this tournament) I'd strongly prefer blitz. -S.
