I disagree. We are currently threatening that people won't get to play their games, and I suspect many people will have to forfeit games because they won't play inside the window.
It is worse to stops games which the players are keen to play, because of an arbitrary time window, than it is for games not to get played because of lack of motivation. Those games still won't happen in this format (the same people are still lazy/uncommunicative), and the only people that are harmed are the players themselves.
Dude. People have a month to schedule a single game. If they can't get that single, focused event done there is no way they will manage to schedule eight games over eight months with no structure or focus.
Every league in every sport has scheduled games. There is a reason for that.
But what I am talking about is trying to maximise games. A format that has a forfeit penalty may do that, i just dot believe it will. Will be interesting to see.
