If we are talking about basically adding one new level between the top and the #1 contender that on occassion would appear empty then this would be fairly easy to add to the program.

BTW My 2 cents worth on sloooow games. I think we need a rule were either player can have the game put on auto turns (say 48hrs?). I would suggest that if a player has an unexplained absense of X no of days then his opponent gains the right to have the game set to auto turns.
