Favourite Time Control for a tournament?

I agree with Flo . But 3+0 is fine for blitz.
3+0 for blitz, 1⁄2+0, 0+4 for bullet. Vote me a horsey.

Thank you to all 125 antichess fans who participated in the survey!

The following time controls received more than 15% support:
39% — 3+0
39% — 1+0
30% — 3+2
30% — 2+0
26% — 1+2
25% — 5+0
25% — 1⁄2+0
21% — 0+2
20% — 2+5
16% — 1⁄4+0
15% — 3⁄4+0

As for Swiss vs Arena tournaments, more than 2/3 of those surveyed want Swiss tournaments to be 10% or more. Just over 50% want Swiss tournaments to be 10% or less. The most popular option is 10% Swiss and 90% Arena tournaments.

36% of respondents do not want tournaments with a rating restriction (the most popular answer). Among the remaining options, the following two options showed the greatest support:
27% — min rating of 2000 (≥2000)
26% — max rating of 2000 (≤2000)

As for times, on both weekdays and weekends, it is clearly evident that most players prefer to play between 12:00 (noon) and 22:00 (10:00 pm) UTC. The peak of activity is at 17:00 (5:00 pm) UTC.
