Blitz Tournament Parameter Poll

[Narz]

Please only vote if you're gonna be entering the toruny.

Definitions :

Double round robin = everyone plays everyone twice (once as white, once as black)
Quadruple round robin = everyone plays everyone four times (twice as each color)

I'm voting for quadruple (and 5 min games) because it doesn't take that much longer (once you've found a time to connect with your opponent) to play four fast games as opposed to two.

I played some on playchess.com before since I got a free year from buying Fritz. I played mostly 15 minutes and had a pretty established rating not that I remember exactly what it was.

I do remember thinking about practicing 5 minute games before my club's blitz championship and started playing 5 minute games. The rating history graph that was remarkably stable before suddenly turned 90 degrees down and didn't stop until 300 rating points lower and then held pretty steady there.

So what I guess I'm saying is I'm not in love with 5 minute games but if that's what you want I will do my best.
