I like PR.

VRR/MWC put too much emphasis on errors at DMP or games near end of the match.

So basically if a weaker player got "lucky" and has easy decisions at DMP or games near end of the match he could overplay his opponent by accident. That won't happen in PR based competition. He should play better all games to have better error rate.

Many people are concerned that a player could play differently in a PR based tournament to decrese his PR, but I don't think it is a big factor. Lets give it a try and see what happens.

Actually Norway held the tournament last year solely on PR result due to regality issues. Bob Wachtel might share his experience there.
