My vote goes to #1 which seems a good compromise.(posted 9394 days ago)A length of 3 months is too much. You have already several players who just play around 1 month, not more. And the couple ( 2 month wait - 3 months length ) would not stay in sync with the calendar ! But the ( 2 - 2 ) choice keeps that and would give tournaments on June, October, February.
8 games seems to currently be the good number.
So let's go for the ( 2 - 2 - 8 ) system !
