That sounds like an insane rule to me. As soon as a player
is down a couple of games, he'll play the next 24-N to a
draw (not losing more than 3) and start from scratch in sudden-death!
I realize that under the old rules, as soon as a player had a
lead he'd force draws to give himself a victory, but this is
even worse. There's gotta be a better way!
