...I don't see long-running games and tourneys as a bad thing. Most of the PBEM games I've played in any community (Cat23, ACD, and now DC) have typically been at least 6 months, some lasting well beyond a year. Those are the best kind of games - plenty of time to ponder and really shine to the best of your ability.

Now granted, finding GMs willing to run such games can be difficult, and you almost have to allow for GM and player induced breaks (within reason and specified limits) for no-kidding-real-life-gets-in-the-way-reasons. But if such considerations were allowed (since I have two jobs, and my wife has two plus grad school), then yes, I would be willing to GM such a game, and there's no reason I can think of why two tourneys running concurrently would necessarily be a bad thing.

Has any thought ever been given to having a rating bracket tourney? Our rating system is well and good, so perhaps we should make use of it in a tourney to match players of even skill competing for a title. (i.e. the below 1150 title, the 1150-1200 title, the 1200-1250 title, the 1250-1300 title, the 1300 and up title) Maybe even some names (rather than just ranges, as it is in chess) - i.e. B, A, expert, master, grandmaster.

And for pete's sake, if this does make it past the good idea fairy stage, let's please not make it a blitz.

Anyone else like this?
