I would also favour forcing HIGH/LOW graded player pairings (could be random at start of tournament). Also allow no consultation during a game between partners on the same side. I think this could result in some very interesting games π΅
I was going to say that, but was waiting for the discussion to heat up a little. I think the high/low rated pairing is a def need to allow fair games amongst all. The partnership could even be random to make it even more interesting !!π
