I would like to see something else.

I would like to see tournament be able to be setup where it only allowed up to X number of vacation days/hours per round.

So instead of making a tournament with NO VACATION - we could make, for example a tournament where a player can use a MAX of 5 days vacation (120 hours) per round. [maybe with presets of 3 days / 5 days / 10 days -- maybe with different color circle for each type to go along with red circle games.)

... that way vacations are still available in case of emergencies, but hopefully keep out those who drag the tournament out. (Then again, now that the vacation "exploit" is fixed, hopefully once someone's vacation is out for the year - they will not get any more until Jan 1 so it won't be as big of an issue as it has in the past.)

coan.net: I was about to object to that because that seriously limits anyone who want to go on vacation longer than a week without worrying about BK, but then I realized you weren't asking for a requirement of all tournaments. All you are doing is creating an option. Options are good, and potential tournament players can pick and choose which options they prefer.

Edit* This would be a good option for private games as well, not just tournaments.

happyjuggler0: Yea, so for the "Time per move:", you would have the following options:

standard vacation

fixed weekend only

no days off

limited vacation - 3 days

limited vacation - 5 days

limited vacation - 7 days

Options for tournament AND private games would be good (along with site & team matches). And of course, the limited vacation is if they have vacation days to use. And for tournaments, I would say per round - so if you make it to round 2, you get those days reset for the "limited". Maybe make those with a "black dot" to show the difference between the green & red dot games.
