Another suggestion for duel (Similar to Rapid/Blitz chess): Each participant say starts with 15 mins and can choose between problems of difficulty between say 2000-2400. Solving a problems increases your timer. Difficult problems increase your timer more. When timer hits 0, you are eliminated. Last man standing wins the game. Can even organise this as a group competition instead of duel.

Respectfully, how is it so fun to watch these guys spend $$$30+$$$ minutes solving some super hard problem? It might be more fun to see them speedrun $$$800-1000$$$ rated problems, cuz then it is fast-paced and most of the audience can understand what is going on.

    On the other hand, dueling on hard problema are more fun for us (atleast me). To strike a balance, we had all ratinga between 1600 and 2900, so we have a mix of easy and hard. I think your suggested ratings are somewhat absurd for a duel at our rating (atleast a traditional duel)
