In Response To: Answers to questions about *New tournament format* (Mika Laukkanen)

I see there is a kind of change in how to play (i.e. strategy) and why not? In football (=soccer) the changed the scoring from win=2/draw=1/lost=0 to win=3/draw=1/lost=0 so why not change it.

I always favored swiss system because it reduces luck but I saw it was not very practical. Your format may achieve the same and add some new twists. Suomi is a little far for me, but I'am curous to try it out.
