Depending on the answers we might find that a solution is (and can!) be found to accomodate both camps.

For a tournament at the rate of 1 game per week we have invented the intermingling divisionalised SWISS. This is the solution that does accommodate both camps. (Except those eccentrics who want to steer clear of fast improving juniors).
