We need to have three polls to decide on some issues that have been coming up.
POLL A) What should we do about the bonus points for games that are played with PBEM mods that speed up the starting position.
I recommend the following poll options
1 - same bonus as any other game.
2 - bonuses are 7 for < 100, 3 for < 150.
3 - No speed play bonus if MODS are used.
Let me know by this time tommorrow if we need another poll option for POLL A.
POLL B) Can a player restart?
I recommend the following options.
1) No Restart Allowed.
2) A restart will be allowed under certain circumstances.
For this poll I recommend 1). I think that the bad starting positions will even out in this large of a tournament. And, some players may have already made many moves in positions that they think are bad.
As for certain circumstances, we will work this out if the "restarts allowed" option of the poll wins. Certain
circumstances will probably provide for the number of
restarts allowed, how many turns into the game to allow
a restart and possibly other stipulations.
Circumstances must not depend on whether the opponents agree. Either it is allowed or not. And it is allowed every time under the certain circumstances to be determined later. Many players (nice guys) would be very unlikely to forbid a restart even though they disagree strongly about it.
Let me know by this time tommorrow whether we need another option for this poll.
C) Hum, Seinior moment, I don't remember C) now.
