Frequency of regular auto tournaments
Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2022 9:14 pmPerhaps the best way of explaining what I am going to ask about is - to make a hypothetical classification of tourneys.
Level A
As soon as a tournament is filled, a new iteration is opened (e.g. after an hour)
Level B
A new iteration begins every k days, regardless of the state of previous iterations (k is small, so a new iteration usually begins before the previous one is completed)
Level C
A new iteration is opened as soon the previous one is completed
Level D
A new iteration begins every n days (n is big, so a new iteration usually begins LONG after the previous one is completed)
Level D1
A new iteration begins n days AFTER the previous one is completed
My English is ugly, but I hope everyone understands. I doubt that all these levels exist, but some of them certainly do.
If a classification of this type exists, I'd very much like to see it published.
I know there are frequent and infrequent tournaments. And I know which ones are frequent and which ones are infrequent. But I am still hungry of specific and detailed information...
So I am inviting officials, as well as experienced players, to contribute (with information). Thank you in advance!
P.S. New World Masters has always been suspiciously rare, in my view. If I am not mistaken, the previous iteration was completed more than two months ago. We still don't have another iteration. WHY?????
