Well, it's certainly doable in principle. More frequent tournaments would likely attract a smaller number of players compared to major ones like Pente Masters if they were called fast fun June tourney with no crown at stake (or something, don't ask me to name them!). Fewer participants and a shorter per move timer would allow tournaments to finish in more reasonable time frames.

The only issue with waiting for one round of tournaments to end before starting another is that tournaments like Go, DK, G finish quickly, and tournamemts like Pente Masters and gomoku can take months or years to complete, for various reasons (level of players, FPA of games, etc.).

yes, more Tournements, please. I am pretty new here and I am a bloody beginner at the games Pente & Gomoku , but I think Tournaments are a good way to practise and it is also fun playing a Tournament (even if you lose all games) Thanks

well, depends on which kind of tournament it is
As with Single-Elimination Double-Elimination or maybe Swiss
one or better two days time limitation is OK.
But for a Round-Robin where one has to play against many other players at the same time (if I understand the rules of Round Robin correctly), than a time limitation of 5 days or more would be better, at least for bloody beginners of the game Pente, just as me :- Thanks
