A "new" tournament idea

[Montana Grizz]

On my soap box once again :smoke:

I'm convinced that the main reason a tournament fails is the length of time it takes to play.

I am currently running a couple of tournaments that have attempted to address this lengthy time commitment, but their is no real solution.

Since most of us play multiple games at the same time, I'm giving some consideration to running a tournament wherein one plays 2 or 3 mirror games (small scenario's) at once. I can visualize a tournament of this type being completed in 3-4 months.

I've got another idea for a unique "team" tournament in which a person makes a move and his partner makes the next move. No communication allowed between partners. Your partner simply looks at the scenario and does what he thinks is best based upon the given position at that time.

Any ideas with regard to some different/unique types of tournaments are greatly welcomed.
