CHALLENGE The_ CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, The_'s CHALLENGE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

I played all the games in literally a week, with a couple of days off due to illness + holidays and weekends.

Well, not everyone can do that. The tournament should be designed for different players and within reasonable limits. 2 weeks for a tournament is a standard timeframe that is considered normal; this one is even shorter.

Personally, I wasn't very interested in waiting almost 2 months for the round to end.

This is already a problem with the regulations. I think that 2 rounds is too much. This is just my opinion, of course.
