Visionary, Visionascary

How can we improve the Sydney grade matches for next year?

Time Controls: Some view shorter time controls as the way to go due to the long distance that people have to go to play their matches. However this may decrease the standard of chess. Perhaps the longer time control could stay as is for the Open and perhaps u2000 tournament whilst converting the remainder of the divisions to the shorter time period.

Finals Series: Wit the problems that have arisen from the grade matches this year perhaps several things should happen:
- No publishing of the finals series draw until all the regular matches hav been completed.
- Perhaps Neutral venues should be chosen for the finals.
- Perhaps the final should be a double round robin. Or a 2 leg K.O.

I think i have some more thoughts on this but being so late i'm gunna talk about them some other time.....
