Playing the FT-System at a tournament where all matches are 9 points (up to 2 hours), will take 12-15 rounds, depending on the number of players and the outcome of the pairings. 12-15 rounds over 2,5 days, including dinner breaks, is already very challenging for the schedule and the players still in the competition (ask Mochy who had to play 14 rounds in Cyprus, and not everyone is Mochy).

Awarding the sit-out to the bottom players with less lives remaining (and protecting him from being out), will extend the number of rounds and dramatically change the schedule....
