Hello Mark,
Actually I think playing 7 rounds is easier than you might think.  It could be
done on ICC with nobody having to leave home.  If nothing else we could have a
best of 7 playoff between Shredder and Ferret on ICC.  This would also be very
easy.  It would only take the agreement of the two proponents.  (Not likely
though)
