I like the draw idea. Say a team has a draw if they don't win within 15 rounds on their home map?

a draw after so many rounds may be difficult, you could go 15 rounds in two days, why should that then be a draw?
what happens if one team has killed off one opponent and has one army left of the other? A draw then is a bit unfair.
How about putting a deadline on finishing the games?
i.e. the game is a draw if it has not finished by the sunday before a new match is setup?

If the opposing team takes a full 24 hrs for each of their turns, then after a week we would still be on round 4 at best - not a good idea.
If draws are included, then I would like to see a fairly high number used - 12 is OK, 15 is good, OR a number dependent on the size of the map used - maybe a round per 4 territories, or similar - just a thought.

I'm running my own soccer based tournament with draws in it. I've worked out the stats for a bunch of maps, quite happy to share with the organiser if you're doing the draw thing. 15 is massive too - you'll have virtually no draws. From what I can remember (I don't have my spreadsheet with me), for Classic, 35% of games finish before round 9, 20% before round 10.

Thanks for your kind input on the matter
Funnily enough not one team has chosen the Classic Map to play on!
