He is? I thought he was saying he was limiting the number of games
and accepting intents early because he wants to have a small number
of games so voters can judge them all, and because, given that, accepting
intents early prevents you from having a huge competetive rush to
submit intents on whatever day intents open.

Given that Adam generally plays EVERY game in the annual comp,
and, IIRC, reviews them all, I rather doubt he'd save himself
the work of judging and reviewing games by causing them to be
sent to the annual comp instead of his comp.
