Swiss-system in Tournaments

"Not sure an option to play with different pairing rules would work"

The tournaments are probably also popular due to minimum wait time, but if they would be played by Swiss rules only now and then, it could satisfy both those who don't want to wait, because they would still mostly play by the same random pairing, and those who want to play more serious rules and still have many opponents (because they could choose to play only hourly Swiss tournaments), also when it would be only like every fifth hourly tournament, the players would still gather in a bunch like they do for most hourly tournaments (at least I guess so).
all valid responds,
but is it so difficult to program a more balanced colour mechanism in Arena?
It must be easy.
To me it's clear: 20% means there has not been taken care of the colour balance.
It's only setting counters and make a comparison.
A cpu does that in µs.
