If you want to win, place or show in a contest, a long contest is your
friend. Except for one of us, there is an op out there that can beat
us. If he has to go into work on Saturday morning, you might have a
chance.
My point is that if you have any illusions that you might win a contest
because it is shorter, just the opposite is true. You are more likely
to win if you can stay in the chair for close to the full contest, while
better contesters have to sit on the sidelines.
If you really want to do well, stay in the chair during miserable
conditions. Some good ops will throw in the towel, and your rank will
likely go up.
