Should we do this, alot of games have already been played so most of us will be waiting 2-3 weeks when we have faced all opponents. It would also allow us to solve some rules questions.

Make them all two weeks and see how it goes. If we still have most of the games played very quickly, make it 1 week.

Well no actually, you're right. The new rule is all games must take at least 2 weeks to play.

I'd say one month, simply because some of us can't play 11 games in one day due to family obligations. I'd like to think I can get them all in in two weeks, but I'm not certain I can. If we shorten to two weeks, then IMHO we need to limit the number of teams. Play in divisions if we want, or separate groups where the winners play for the monthly title or something, but 19 games in two weeks is a stretch for someone like me who can't predict when he's going to be online, and lives in the US and has difficulty playing all those Europeans 6 and 7 hours ahead.

I think two weeks is a good compromise. It's supposed to be a quick and funny tournament so waiting three weeks would probably kill it.

2 weeks is good, but if the guys are done sooner change it. Float the tournament time frame.

I think leave it as it is for this tournament, and then make the next tournament two weeks. Do take people like mstrchef13 into account... not all of us are glued to the Blood Bowl screen every night for hours at a time... we all want to be, but we can't all be! :p

My experience so far is that it's VERY easy to get 2-3 games in in the time it takes to play 1 normal game and so far there has been alot of action.

In that case a 2 week time limit is about right, but should be a little flexible for those hard to get hold of opponents in the last couple of games.

How about a stated aim of finnishing in 2 weeks with another week of flexibility built in for those of us who can't be online in FUMBBL for 8 hours a week.
