Quoted from DNO:I first thought this format sounded lame. But it could actually be some fun, now that I think about it more.
I have a strict "no double gaming" rule, and try to encourage others to also.
having the 4 finalists play 4 player games on multiple machines would be hard for me to accept.
But...., It might turn out OK, I'm often worried about tourney games running long, and they often don't to my surprise.
My fear is one guy is crushing it, and everyone stacks up behind.
Or one machine is playing long, so it all backs up there.
But waiting is waiting, and it would all go faster as a whole, in theory.
Other concern as a player is switching from game to game, ball 2 over here, now ball 1 over there. Just doesn't seem like it would allow me to concentrate on each game quite as much, or as well.
I may be warming up to the idea of trying it though, come run one in CO!
As a competitive player, I am not a fan of playing multiple games concurrently and I would personally choose to not play in such events. It's not even so much the fact that you have might to play ball 1 on a slow EM and then your next ball is ball 1 on IM so you are all over the board speed wise. For me I want to watch and see what my opponent is doing or not doing so I can adjust accordingly. I want to know if he started that MB and did nothing, has lock 3 lit or isn't even close to MB. When you are playing good players, what they have setup and where they are at in the game is just as important or even more important than their actual score. When I am forced to be on another game playing you can't do that.
