Some facts to ponder

Out of all the options one suspects that the most popular would be bg, but with faster time limits.
Speedgammon will appeal to quite a few players, of course, but 10/0.4 is fairly drastically faster than normal! Not everyone wants to be under that much pressure after a weekend of play. Wouldn't Faster Masters TC of 10/1 meet more players in the middle? Even 12/1 is a good deal faster than the fairly standard 12/2. Actually, it would seem to be the truest half way house between Speedgammon and Standard TC (short of playing 11/1.2).
If the aim of such events is to provide the appeal of something somewhat different - but not too much so - then might not the standard game, but with significantly faster TC, perhaps fit the bill best?
