I have not had a physical, across the table opponent (barring a rare tourney) in over 25 years. Back then, we were too high and drunk to care about balance and protocol. In the last ten years, I have had a number of oppos using webcams and boards. Our usual practice has been one guy picks the scenario, the other rolls for sides. Whoever has the defense gets 3-4 days to set one up and transcribe it to the other guy so he can set up a probable line of attack against it. Game day, we were ready to go.
So, with an actual in-person FTF oppo now in the area, my question is this:
Curious as to whether the answers weigh more to one side than the other...
So, with an actual in-person FTF oppo now in the area, my question is this:
- Do you do as I described above and pre-pick/pre-setup ahead of time? or...
- Do you do it 'tourney style' and simply pick the scenario on game day, roll for sides, allow the Defender 30 minutes or so (average-size scenario) to set up, then allow the Attacker the same latitude, then play?
