Actually, there is one more reason I replied...(posted 9005 days ago)Someone alerted me that my favourite game, Pnickies, is part of your tournament. Here is what you wrote on your pages:
"This game requires a really fast computer. Use any settings."
Use any settings? Err... are you aware that there are 8 difficulty levels in Pnickies? Aren't tournaments supposed to have well-defined rules as to settings, allowed techniques, etc. etc.? Or were you trying to hide the fact that you (unlike MARP) don't have a way to check which settings were used in an .inp?
I might actually have joined your tournament, but recording 10 games of Pnickies into one .inp would require me to play for almost 2.5 hours, which shows another flaw of your system: Some people can play some games for a long time (and much longer than the 13-14 minutes per Pnickies game). There are plenty of games in which a good player can play 45 minutes per credit. If that player were really serious about trying to get a good score, and so use all 10 attempts, that would require 7.5 hours of playing. In some cases, the cure can be worse than the illness...
