In Response To: In search of a new term (Chuck Bower)

Open-ended play would be my preference, which would undoubtedly be shortened to open play or open session, both of which are fine, though I prefer the later.

Of the terms currently in use, unlimited match probably makes the most sense, though I find it unwiedly. Also, I prefer not using the term match, to help distinguish it from match play. And of course any use of the term limited or unlimited brings up associations with limit and no-limit poker, which brings back the money connotation.

So, I vote for "open play" to describe the terms of the game and playing an "open session" to describe what the players are doing.
