Just saying, I am playing 2 turns every three days. It's just that my games generally take a large number of turns because I'm not willing to admit defeat unless I'm 95% certain that there is no potential way to victory, and I play a cautious style, which results in me taking many more turns than others to win.

Having seen Metatron and japan77's game histories, I would say neither player is intentionally stalling, or taking many more turns than average (if you noticed, I haven't been using that word, but rather "slow play").
In general, taking more turns is not admirable, you should know when you lost.

Anyway, based on responses so far, most participants seem to favor a 60 day cutoff (75 days next season). I might lose a couple players to the new rule. I will hash out details and announce it officially in the new thread when season 21 starts. The rules will shy away from nuance and judgment calls and towards easily observable facts.
Metatron, I appreciate that you don't agree, and I am making the decision to piss you off with my eyes wide open, sorry. This is because you and other slow players really *are* niche. In my estimation 90-95% of the league will not be affected by this rule ever.
I want to reiterate that I am *not* accusing Metatron of foul play *at all*. I am making a decision based on the playing habits of the majority of the league, and based on what I think will benefit the majority of the league.
I'll probably lose a bigger chunk of top players if I go to 3 games at a time, based on the responses in this thread. So unfortunately I need to let go of this idea.
Thank you everyone who participated in the discussion, it was really helpful to come to a decision.
TODO: 1. Check on the progress of the playoff games 2. Adjust promotions and relegations given that Onoma94 changed his mind about leaving 3. Check on the progress of the outstanding groups

i don't like the idea of a limit it cuts off time for planning or, time for school/work to be in the way of getting on. ive also got a mind that can stack and separate a lot of different things so 3 games at a time sounds great.

Sorry about my unplanned hiatus, but the timing seems to be right as certain groups have finished this holiday weekend. If all goes according to plan, I should have the next season ready to go by Sunday the 27th, with tournament join deadline by December 11, and the "hard cap" end of league being February 26, 11 weeks after the start (about 77 days). After this trial run the league length will be shortened to 9 weeks (+2 weeks to join tournaments) which means we have about 5 seasons per year and 3 weeks.
Here are the results from the last groups to finish:
GROUP C2 smileyleg (6-0) - WINNER, Promotes to B Pushover (4-2, 1-1) - tie Metatron (4-2, 1-1) - tie Hades (4-2, 1-1) - tie Don [ Ω ] (1-5) - Relegates to D Master Atom ◆Elite◆ (1-5) - Removed for inactivity (surrendering without playing) Ollie (1-5) - Removed for inactivity (boots)
Hades beats Metatron to force a 3 way tie for second place. In the interest of time, I will be promoting the group C1 runner up without a playoff game. Therefore Metatron, Hades, and I will all compete in tier C next season.
GROUP D2 Dom365 (5-1) - WINNER, Promotes to C Arkanton (4-2, 1-0) - Promotes to C Master Jz (4-2, 0-1) - Promotes to C Platinum (3-3, 1-0) Maréchal Lannes, duc de Montebello (3-3, 0-1) PhucilliJerry (2-4) - Relegates to E MightySpeck (a Koala) (0-6) - Relegates to E
Platinum beats PhucilliJerry to stay in tier D, while PhucilliJerry relegates.
GROUP F1 AWOL Gls AJ (4-0) - WINNER, Promotes to E Math Wolf (4-2, 1-1) - Promotes to E Pink (4-2, 1-1) - Promotes to E Hunta (4-2, 1-1) - Promotes to E bobbob000 (2-4) BADA (1-5) [wolf]japan77 (0-6) - Relegates to G
The final games see japan77 relegating to tier G.
Tier G Super-Promotion to E Playoff: MisterT defeats Motoki!
Tier G Promotion to F playoff: Kevin Turner defeats Coronel Gavilan!
TODO (hopefully by Sunday): 1. Adjust promotions and relegations given that Onoma94 changed his mind about leaving 2. Update the new players lists 3. Report final standings, promotions, and relegations 4. Report groups for season 21 5. Adjust rules language according to new rules and discussion 6. Create season 21 groups 7. Determine season 21 promotions and relegations (prior to adjustments for inactive players) 8. Create new season 21 thread

This is the revised promotion and relegation schedule:
GROUP A - 7 players, 2 relegate (gain 2 from B) 6th and 7th place relegates
GROUP B - 6 players, 1 dropped out, 2 promote (gain 2 from A), 2 relegate (gain 3 from C) 1st and 2nd place promotes, 5th and 6th place relegates
TIER C - 3 dropped out, 3 promote (gain 2 from B), 2 relegate (gain 6 from D) GROUP C1 - 6 players, 1st through 2nd place promotes, 6th place relegates GROUP C2 - 5 players, winner promotes, 5th place relegates Playoff between 2nd place C1 and 2nd place C2 cancelled in interest of time
TIER D - 1 dropped out, 6 promote (gain 2 from C), 4 relegate (gain 9 from E) GROUP D1 - 6 players, 1st through 3rd place promotes, 5th and 6th place relegates GROUP D2 - 7 players, 1st through 3rd place promotes, 6th and 7th place relegates
TIER E - 4 dropped out, 9 promote (gain 4 from D), 3 relegate (gain 8 from F, gain 4 from G) GROUP E1 - 5 players, 1st through 3rd place promotes, 5th place relegates GROUP E2 - 5 players, 1st through 3rd place promotes, 5th place relegates GROUP E3 - 6 players, 1st through 3rd place promotes, 6th place relegates
TIER F - 8 dropped out, 8 promote (gain 3 from E), 2 relegate (gain 15 from G) GROUP F1 - 7 players, 1st through 4th place promotes, 7th place relegates GROUP F3 - 6 players, 1st through 4th place promotes, 6th place relegates
TIER G - 3 dropped out, 4 promote to E, 15 promote to F (gain 2 from F) GROUP G1 - 7 players, 1st place promotes to E, 2nd through 5th place promotes to F GROUP G2 - 6 players, 1st place promotes to E, 2nd through 5th place promotes to F GROUP G3 - 7 players, 1st place promotes to E, 2nd through 5th place promotes to F GROUP G4 - 5 players, 1st place promotes to E, 2nd through 4th place promotes to F
Onoma94 returning to the league means there will only be 4 super-promotions to tier E from tier G, which basically makes both playoff games completely unnecessary. Oops! Kevin Turner remains in tier G, and MisterT will only promote to tier F.
Additionally, the tier C promotion playoff is cancelled, 2nd place C1 takes the final promotion spot.

The groups for season 21 are as follows. In tiers with multiple groups, I separate players into pots: relegating players, players remaining in the same tier, and promoting players.
