Tournaments that get the most support are regular tournaments. If this is a Pinochle League then the majority of tournaments should be regular tournaments. A big part of Pinochle is bidding and passing meld. Games that take these aspects away hurt the skilled players and give poorer players (ones who miss meld bids or can't keep track of trump) a better chance to win. You can measure the success of a tourney by the number of participants, and REGULAR PINO TOURNAMETS always get the best response.
