Are you planning to wait until the complete first set of games is finished, before starting new ones ?

In this case, I´m afraid, this tournament is going to take forever ...

How about making this a Premium tournament and just starting a new set of games every weekend ?

With an average 10-14 days for a 6-player Escalating game (and an occasional game taking longer), game-load should be around 6 games at any given time then.

I wanted to keep the option open, but everyone who signed up is premium. So I planned to do just what you've said: new games once a week, and expecting that games will take about two weeks to finish. That way you'd always have games that were in the exciting assault phase, instead of only having games where you deploy and end your turn.

If you need to stay out of the newest games until the old ones are completed, I'm obliged to allow it since I did say it would be suitable for players without premium. One game will start without you, but Robinette will be waiting with you.
The tournament is meant to go on for as long as people want to keep playing. BUT, there will be periodic "ends" where a winner is announced, the scores are reset and players move up and down divisions. At this moment, I plan to shuffle groups after 21 games (so you can see some new players) and end the season after 42. These breaks also allow us to add new people to the tournament, and remove people who aren't enjoying it.

You won't have any new games until the first ones finish, and even then not before next week.

Seeing, that there are quite a few players here, who are concerned with game-load, maybe we can compromise and start a new set of games every 2 weeks ?

Would give me some space to play some Escalating outside the tournament, with different people, and that would be fine too.

I think that'll have to happen. Otherwise the rest of the groups will move faster than Phlaim's, and that won't work.
