You take 2 weeks to choose the game and we have only one week to play it ! What happens if I have to leave one week for work ?

We have a little bit more than 1 week. You have to realise that Chris sofar picked games for which no one submitted an input-file yet. That takes some time.

But I can see where you are coming from and I agree to a certain extend:

The time between rounds could be shorter (if Chris has the time; i don't know anything about this) and the updates under the Knockout- link could be a little bit more regular (say every two days). Again, I realise that Chris has to do everything manually and if he doesn't have the time, he doesn't have the time for regular updates. The deadline for this round could be a little later, though.

My overall opinion of a knockout tournament are very positive. I like the fact that everyone in the tournament concentrate on the same game. That really boosts competition. So, I see a great future for KoA2, and I will certainly be there. And we have Chris to thank for that.

Bye, Arjen...
