That means that the replier's ability to meet their deadline is based on their ability to get on on that specific day.

I think more sensible deadlines would be the 20th and the 23rd. That doesn't give the receiver a huge advantage like it might in other formats, since it's just one bar.

I understand where you're coming from. I've had this question asked, and answered already. Noble and I both decided, that this was more than ample time to respond to a 1 bar. Regardless of how close the responding date is to the senders...you still have nearly two weeks to write a bar. Everyone knows who they're battling, they should start their bar right away. How hard is it to remember that you need to respond on a certain day? You should already have the bar written, and be able to post from your phone/computer or tablet within minutes. People already have an advantage when they can see the other persons verse for 3 days in the regular format. However, having 3 days to know exactly what's needed to out-write one bar... is even more of an advantage. Also, I'm pretty flexible when it comes to extensions if needed.
