Thanks for the GREAT WORK, David! This is a great format for our club tournaments going forward. This format retains the "club atmosphere" of games played on Thursday night, but it also gives players the flexibility to schedule their game(s) at another time based on their availability.
The double round-robin format of the Quads is ideal, as the players play each other with both colors. But of course, it is unlikely that the total number of participants is a multiple of four. A six-player "Hexad" double round robin would be 10 rounds (weeks). What should be the maximum duration of our tournaments?

I'd be up for Quads or Hexads. David, I really appreciate all of your work, and I have to remind you that you CAN beat me or @sourbaum in an open tournament. Here is proof: lichess.org/KjLgRfo5aWeL
Thank you very much for all your hard work in managing the pairings and summaries after the rounds.
Of course, I can only play because it is possible to schedule appointments that are compatible with the time in Europe.
There are many possible pairing options. Round-robin is a good way to play against opponents of similar strength to your own, which is the most interesting in chess.
I suggested to @datasmith to look at the website tornelo.com which offers very interesting possibilities to organize and play tournaments on the internet.

A six player double round robin could be pretty interesting but I think I would only risk organizing one among players who have some track record with us. From the chess point of view this formula would probably interest the strongest players the most. Perhaps we consider such a tournament as Section A and stay with single round robins for the other sections - a bit like at Wijk aan Zee with a masters section and an amateur section :) Let's think about these options and see what others say.

Effectivement, Tornelo is a great tool and what we used for our Swiss pairings.
