One of the problems with systems that are non-standard is that they not only slow down a duplicate match significantly, but tend to frost the opponents. While this latter condition is not always bad, I've always considered it "bad form" to make up strange systems and then use them in duplicate matches. After all, your convention card must look like the rough draft of War and Peace by the time you're through with it. ...bob garmise...at&t bell labs, columbus...
