| a dropout tournament in which there would be fewer and fewer participants each round |
We did site wide round robin tournaments last year, but the number of members back then was much smaller, if I remember correctly there was about 20 players. With 150 players I think we will have the same kind of problem.
One thing I intend to investigate for next time is having a modified swiss system, where each player plays more than one game per round. That way the number of rounds can be reduced considerably.

I suggest everyone log onto
the Internet on Saturday,
4 June at 12:00 noon in
your own local time zone [for
me that would be 16:00 Zulu,
or Greenwich Mean Time].
At this moment, the QA-ANNIV-1
will commence, everyone plays
everybody else simultaneously;
the winner is NOT the player
with the best W-D-L record.
The winner will be the player
that is still "alive" and sane
enough at the end to log off
and log back on to continue
ANY other games they have at
Queen Alice.
Susan Polgar is trying to get
into the Guinness Book of World
Records. She will attempt this
1-2 August 2005 with 350 boards
in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Now surely we will have some
kind of "winner" by this time
and will beat her to the
record book.
The only drawback to this
being Miguel has only a short
time to promote this monumental
endeavor to receive maximum
exposure in the Chess press
and international news.
I would be willing to help
him promote, but I have to
prepare for the event myself.
Seriously, whatever is chosen,
then so-be-it, I'm ready now!
...laughs to all, e2cp

This is still correspondence chess, you have 3 days per move in all games so I'm not sure I understand why you can't join.
