I'd be happy with 13-rounders over 15-rounders if it meant we could play more games

I'd be happy to try 13-rounders either way, just for something new and different

Co-event format options for London 2027 - opinions sought!

Post by Phil Stanton »

CO:LON will return in 2027, and I'm contemplating tinkering with the format.
Previously (under my tenure) we've played 7 x 9-rounders, with a 9-round final, but we've had 15-rounders at a couple of events this year, with varying numbers of games played.

Obviously 15-rounders take longer, which means fewer games in total, especially with the high number of people typically in attendance at CO:LON.
I also don't want things to be too rushed, i.e. not racing through games, and not having only very short breaks between games.
To that end, one of the options I'm toying with is 13-rounders: LLN LLN LLN LLN C.

So, please vote. I can't guarantee I'll go with the most popular opinions, but at least I'll get a sense of how people feel!
I'm hoping to formally announce CO:LON and the final format at the FOCAL Finals.
