Hey, Greg! All your points are quite valid. One thing I've noticed is that not a lot of the original Tournament #3 players are saying anything now. I'd like to play T#3, but if there are only 7 participants, it makes more sense to cancel it and have another tourney. We need a show of hands here.
 
*All those players who are willing to re-start CV Game Courier Tournament #3, please comment here now.*

I agree with the idea of a vote for the BYO tourney. The intention is to have fun, so we must provide playable games. We could impose board size and piece number restrictions for starters: 8x8 to 12x12 or 12x16, tops;
10 - 32 or 40 pieces per side. What's reasonable, people? 

I also think we should run and score a BYO a little differently. These are my ideas:
For starters, the game you bring you will always play as black. [Provision may be made for the nominal white player to play black instead.]
Victory should be scored differently. There should be 3 winning categories: a best White score, a best Black score, and a best Total score.
