Hi all,
I believe there should be monthly & yearly tournaments to create excitement - Admin please take note!!
Anyone who agrees please post here.

agreed, however, monthly is probably not doable. The 2025 Pente Masters tournament start almost 3 months ago and only recently finished.

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 more tournaments, the less value of winning and participating in each.

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.).
