The last 1 day timeout (and it had a 21 days t/b...) tournament was started in the first days of August. Tournament 1275
Since then about 200 tournaments started and no one faster than some rare 3/7 tournaments.
Where are the tournaments for us fast players?
Why only turtleish time controls?
Some 1 day t/o series or even some "timebank only" would be appreciated.

Have you actually requested some short timecontrol tournaments?
So far the result is that 3/7 is clearly the most preferred time control, followed , pretty far, by 1/7 and 7/7.
Now, if this is vox populi, why on Earth the vast majority of tournaments created are with 7/14 time controls ??😕
