• Partially this, imo. I think it's a good idea but until we know it works and know how to organise this style of tournament can we keep the NS in the classic 1st to 5. If it's trialed for a year or so it will allow the wider community to see the difference between the two styles. As people have mentioned it will change the style of play, if it changes in the way I imagine it would then I am all for it.

    The correct way forward is to change the rule globally, not piecemeal, so please do keep to the NS ruleset.

    It may be worthwhile having a trial tourney, whose only purpose is to try out proposed rule changes, but we're not at that point yet.
