Recently there have been a lot of people interesting in doing 75 minute Top Cut matches. Simply put, 60 minutes is rarely enough time for a full 3 games, and often times the person winning is whoever has the fastest deck in sudden death, which really isn't representing the best players all of the time. You can read more arguments for (and against) 75 minutes in Ness' thread here: http://pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?t=158702
Now, obviously, we can't do the entire T128 with 75-minute time limits given the current schedule at Nationals. It would add a fair bit of time. However, as Ness points out, it would only add about an hour MAX to add an extra 15 minutes to each match from Top 16 and onwards. Why not do this for Nationals? It would allow skill to rule the day, which for a tournament as big and prestigious as Nationals would be fantastic.
Anyone else feel similarly?
