Then, your appeal to my laziness completed the deal. Thanks!

Round robins are easier to run since you set up the sections, put the grid up, and let people play. The problem with a swiss is you have to all the results in before pairing the next round. As we saw in the last LEPers tournament that would not have worked since some of us couldn't play our opponent on the specific week scheduled. Also a swiss is more work for you because you have to do pairings each week.
