New tournament format

In Response To: New tournament format (Mochy)

I'm sorry to say that I see a lot more to criticize than there is to like. There are some deal breakers in here for me:

  • If you use round robin play, you will have matches that are meaningless, or worse, matches that are meaningful for one party and not the other. Round robin is a great format for a novice/beginner division, never for an open.
  • Using the final score of the match to decide ANYTHING. I don't care if this is beginners or world champions playing, this is a terrible idea.
  • Asking if we really need clocks is not a deal breaker to me. I play side events at tournaments without the use of a clock, it's not horrible to me. But when I see this: "... at each players own pace," I cringe. No thanks.

I'm all in favor of imagining creative ways of running tournaments, but this system looks a bit too Jakob Garal for my taste.
