I agree. This is why I am in favor of:

1. An available selection of regional 2 day tournaments.
2. 6 round tournaments with 3 presets.
3. Encouraging people to start rounds in a timely fashion.
4. Entertainment for debaters in the evening (and stopping at a sensible time).

I would love to hear some of your suggestions.
