Im of the opinion a week is plenty of time to finish a 2 player game of Hacienda.

yeah i agree mate but some games are taking about 3+ weeks so need to know how many games people can physically finish in the amounted time as need to make sure the next season doesn't run over by 3+ weeks again!

just finished mt 3 against foxalito - they were 3 week games. He was really busy at work and home, occasionally people go on hols too. I think we should always aim for 1 week and give upto two weeks to get them played. I'm happy to play two people at the same time but might be too much for others.

maybe the players that know they're a touch slower can start more/all games at the start of the season giving themselves longer to finish so not as much stress or pressure.

Sorry for any inconvenience

I got given a major service specification thing to do at work at short notice, while trying to prep for an exam and sort out my kid's birthday (above any beyond the usual work/family related activity) Embarassed

I think more then 1 week is required, my games took longer, and I'm at my computer numerous times per day.

I felt a week was fine for each game, with a few running a couple of days longer. I may have been lucky with time-zone compatibility, or just the fact that I tend to be online at all hours. Saying that, I am happy to start several games/rounds at the same time. Very Happy

While we are all discussing if a week provides enough time to play a match, the other, possibly bigger question remains. Whats the solution when a MONTH isnt enough time to finish a match? There are still 6 games playing that were begun a month ago.

I'd simply ask them to arrange an hour or half hour time slot where they can play non stop - 10-15 rounds in one session, if they can't organise that within a 2-3 week time period the game is declared a draw unless totally obvious who's won. Shouldn't be holding up the leagues I reckon

hey all soz for the slow reply!!

I have been thinking about the best way to do this and I think what I am going to do is post the full seasons fixtures at the start of the season and if people will start these fixtures as soon as possible then at the end of the season if any games have not been finished there will be no excuse to have not finished games so the result will be decided by me! Hope everyone is happy with this!

It is my sons birthday this weekend so I will look at setting up the new season on Monday!

Any comments on any of this please post here!
