Hello, something just crossed my mind, and I kinda wanna share about it. What if there are such things as correspondence tournaments? Like maybe about a day or two? I love correspondence, and I think it might be kinda cool. Just a thought.
There Are. Check out lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/tournaments-by-correspondence#5
@Queen_Skysky Her‘s my post in the other thread again, some people finding this thread here might be interested in the existing correspondence tournaments on lichess:
As far as I am informed lichess is not planning to introduce correspondence tournaments. However, you can join the correspondence league, a tournament created manually: lichess.org/team/correspondence-league (2 days/move)
And there is lichess.org/team/correspondence-chess-competitions (14 days/move)
Hope I could help you!

can you even imagine how long the tournament will be?
lets say you are playing a correspondence tournament with time control 1 day per move. each game lets say lasts 40 moves. so a game can last up to 80 days. if you play 9 such games, that already adds up to 720 days, which is a little less than 2 years. so a normal tournament should last 2 years, which is too long. that is assuming the time control is 1 day per move. how long would it be for lets say 2 days a move? the answer is double the amount of time used in 1 day per move, around 4 years. how about 5 days a move? almost a decade.
lichess will not host such long tournaments
although there are teams you can join as told by previous posts

You‘re arguments are not really convincing. You assume that both players take all their time for every move and that you only play 1 game at the same time. In the correspondence league, we play 9 games with one game starting every 10 days and a huge majority of the games end within 4 months after the start of the tournament. Hardly any game takes more than 5 months.

@Akarsh_2010 but this is real life not a math question
The one thing Lichess lacks is tournaments of correspondence games. Best game I ever played was a recently finished daily game in a tournament over on chess dot com. While it's true I can always play on the main rival's site, where "daily chess" is a big deal, I'd like it here. The tournaments can last a long time, but that's no reason not to have them.
