All of the sudden, the paid-version of Churros became 6-board, instead of 8. Why?

I don't mind paying for robot, I don't mind paying to play. But I mind the less number of boards. That makes the tournament much less enjoyable, as the results are much more random, instead of skill based.

In fact, can BBO do some a 12- or 16-board Churros equivalent (regularly scheduled, BXP awarding, paid, by pair, not individual).

We periodically review our game formats and make adjustments based on how they are used.

We plan to introduce new variations of Express Pairs games very soon, including longer formats, giving players more options to choose from. There will be one new such game early next week.

Since I got your reply, let me first thank you.

Please consider longer (more boards) pair-tournaments of various length (8-, 12-, 16- boards, etc.) and probably various stratification by BXP or TCR, and done at regular level through-out the day. If at $0.25 per game, I will probably do it everyday.
