I agree that time limits are needed. Excessively liberal limits would lead to neglect. However, if the time limits are too rigid we may get few registrants. This kind of tournament does not attract a lot of players to start with. 14 voters is by far the best response the CVP has had for a tournament -- let's keep it! Besides that, I would venture to say that with rigid limits, the tournament might get lot of forfeitures, particularly as the tournament gets into its second or third month and longer. There is also the issue of enforcement, who is going to call a forfeit? Here's a thought, once the registrations are in offer various time limit alternatives, such as those suggested in these comments, to the registrants for selection by voting.
