I'd also like to suggest changes to the tournament rules, reducing the time allotted for a game from the moment an opponent is assigned. Currently, I think it's a week; I would reduce it to 3-4 days.

I mentioned earlier in the thread that a timeframe of less than a week is simply unrealistic. There are, of course, people who can manage within 3-4 days, but they are few and far between, and even they are unlikely to consistently perform well within such a short timeframe because, as a rule, they are also participating in a couple of other tournaments with their own deadlines.
A week is the optimal timeframe because there are always at least one or two weekend days available for the game. If you play faster, that's a bonus. As I said, faster players are rewarded with a higher chance of favorable outcomes.

P.S. By the way, I almost forgot. For the future: to avoid dragging out the deadlines, always play to win! If you give an auto-loss, it doesn't mean that your opponent is now playing for a draw, as happened in the GoD vs. twaryna match. This isn't a regular season; it's the Mountain!:smile25: You should eliminate the King at any cost, and he should hold on at any cost (within the bounds of fair play, of course). And if you decide to give an auto-loss, let it be a sign of your nobility, not that your opponent now owes you something.
