Hi I would consider all of your proposals as too complicated. You have 9 days where everyone can play 2 games. I agree that on the first and on the last day there should be only one game but this can be adjusted in the players conference. Lets assume 16 games possible. 1. If the number of Participants is less than 8 play double round robin reverted colors. 2. If the number of participants is less than 16 play rr (flip coin for colors) (here I have to say that I doubt that there will be more than 16 participants!) 3. If the number is 17 (witch is the worst case for a nine round swiss) make the Tourney time control 2/40 + 1h/20 +1h so you play a single game a day, 9 round swiss. 3a. Make it 8 rounds in advance. If after the 8th round 2 are on top play a tie on the 9 day 2 games. If still no decision is there, make it direct match, Buchholz or two winners (just anounce it in advance!) If in case 1, 2 and 3 there is no decision, make it direct match, Buchholz or two winners (just anounce it in advance!) I think that is an easy solution for everybody to understand. Bye Ingo Bauer PS: If you want to make a day off just adjust the numbers a bit. It should still work!
