I have a question. I do not know to much about chess tournaments. It is my understanding that in a chess tournament that is face to face or I believe OTB as I think some call it there is a time limit. Several people play chess and a clock is running to not allow people to not take forever. What I am suggesting is that even though this is not OTB tournament, there should be a time limit on the online tournament. That either by number of moves suggesting for Example 60 or number of days Example 90 days if 80% of those in the tournament have finished the Round in the tournament that Judges or Officals make a decision about remaining games as to the person winning by either points of pieces having an advantage or positional advantage, or combination of both. In other words people make a decision about who is most likely to win. I would also suggest that those judges not be involved in the tournament. I would also suggest that the number of judges be an uneven number so when the votes are cast there is a decision that does not end a tie. I would suggest either 3 or 5 judges. There might be some other requirements for judges also. Not exactly sure what those requirements would be. What are your thoughts on this idea? Looking forward to your comments.
What about on top of having time-per-move also add time-per-game? For example you have 3 days per move, but a sum of your total used time can't exceed 50 days. That way you could easily predict when's the latest a tournament round could end (in this case 100 days)
