Carlos Cetina and I have been discussing a slightly different kind of
tournament. It would be a potluck, with each participant bringing a game.
Every player would play 2 games against every other - the game that each
brought. The default choice of sides will be players are black in the game
they brought. The only way this will change is if the opponent requests
black for that game, in which case the opponent will then become black.
This request must be made before the game starts.

The unusual feature will be timing. Every player will get 5 months of
reserve time, and nothing else, for each game. All games will be started at
the same time. Thus the tournament will finish in not less than 5 months,
and not more than 10. Good time management is encouraged.

Games, to be accepted, must be playable, have their rules posted online,
and have at least 1 complete game score available to demonstrate their
suitability. A game preset must be available, but this does not have to be
rules-checking. Finally, games must fit the format. For example, they
should be reasonably easy to understand and play fairly quickly. All
decisions of the judges are final.
