I wouldn't be so categorical in my assessment. Rather, this is a tournament for those who play every evening, for those who quickly play through a group and get tired of waiting for the next tournament. There are many such players; I see their streams and reports every day. There is something appealing about holding a full-fledged tournament in 2 weeks. Let's say the tournament has 16 players: September 15 - Round 1 September 16 - Round 1 completion September 17 - Round 2 September 18 - Round 2 completion September 19 - Round 3 September 20 - Round 3 completion September 21 - Day off September 22 - Day off September 23 - Final (match for 3rd place) September 24 - Completion, summary, and awards Total of 10 days. With 32 players, the tournament increases by another 2 days.
