Not neccessarily the CCT format. Bob has suggested a FICS server at the physical event. There could easily then be two rounds per day or three or a combination of 2 and 3 round days to accomplish the desired number of rounds. Or some internet qualifiers before hand, and a smaller field for the physical championship, with FICS presiding on-site. No human intervention errors as is the current European enjoyment. But there is no imagination at ICGA, and apparently Europe in general, or so it seems. Prove that I'm wrong. ;) > >> The length issue? >so well, it would take 5 rounds - what will happen at CCC -> they will all say: >"Oh, it was so short, the winner was just lucky" No they won't, because everyone here at CCC knows the math has already been demonstrated for the optimal number of rounds per number of entries. And if people don't know that now, they will learn it, since that is what CCC is for, the colleagial sharing of knowlege. :) >etc. etc.... so what ? > >> The issue that ICGA should be drumming up sponsorships in the respective >> parts of the globe. >respective ?
