I am against coupling up with congresses. We need to keep Richardson as a flagship event and, as Andy says, this discourages them from playing both. It's not as if we are short of free weekends. We could extend Richardson to have more rounds using the weekends freed up as result of no Grangemouth, Glenrothes and Perth congresses for example.
I do quite like the idea of multiple matches happening on published dates in same venue (not all rounds would need to be at the same venue, we could move it around).
I also think it's essential we keep it to 1 game with slow time control to maximize turnout of our strongest resident players.
