World Championship during summer

Hello,

Looking at the 9 first rounds of World Championship, it seems clear that it can be tough to complete a game in less than 21 days, even with 2 serious players.

I'm afraid that rounds which will take place during summer will be even harder to complete in due time, because of usual summer vacations.

Round 10 (05/25 to 06/15) should be OK. But Round 11 (06/22 to 07/13) and Round 12 (07/20 to 08/10) might be disastrous.

I can propose 2 easy solutions:

- Extend Round 11 to cover all summer (06/22 to 08/31) and play Round 12 in september
or
- Suspend WC during summer, then play Round 11 in september and Round 12 in october

What do you people think ?
(it could be a good thing that Slitherine also answer that question... :-)

good idea
I would be for the first variant (extend round 11 and start round 12 in September)

Thats a good idea!
Would be a pity in the last rounds to hurry up,....

For those who have small children(or other most important things), they know that it´s not always easy to find the needed time to play ...and later you play without enough time making serious mistakes, you can´t recover, because you hurry up!!

Is fair to me!!! a good idea!!! i agree totally with your idea!!!

It's great we had a two week break now

Still Trepkos suggestions stand firm and hope this is considered
Both of them are great

Otherwise the finish could turn out very frustrating for some (myself included)
Just think of 2 week vacations for one player in a timeframe of 21 days - how about the other guy then?
Please spare us that trouble

You're always taking breaks, Adel, and can't keep up with your moves. So what do you actually mean? Come on, I'll finish you off, then you'll know.

We're a little busy getting ready for the launch of Starship Troopers, but I will see about passing your feedback along to the right people while I'm at the launch event :).
