That's fair enough. Some like slow games/tournaments, while others appreciate fast paced games that don't drag out too long.
Luckily we're on a site offering both types in abundance!
I know a lot of players who like fast games. Please join the BIG tournament: The Vikings Rapid Tournament 2007

I believe that 1 day timeout will keep away the strongest players. That should make it more interesting for players rated 2000-
And by the way it has been set up 🙂
it would also be interesting to see a tournament where all the strongest players would enter ... how would that be constructed?

I believe the number of games and time settings are the important factors. Perhaps a 2100+ duel with 7/14 would do the trick. Unfortunately it would take ages to finish if, say 32 players, participated.
