If the "no run" format is "The Answer" then Sprint ought to have thousands
and thousands of players (like CQWW does).

Not only NA Sprint is "...the most fun you can have in 4 hours with your
clothes on..." according to N6TR, but also it is THE REAL McCOy of
contesting.
I even entered NA sprints a couple of times from LU-land with just 100w and
a low inverted V. Despite it was a part time entry, it was one of the most
thrilling contests I've ever entered. Because of all reasons listed above.
Even if CQ WW goes the QSO/QSY route more and more people will continue to
enter. Because it is a whole lot more fun, fair and challenging.

P.S.: Two frequencies 5 KHz apart or more ping ponging, should also be
avoided. Simply QSO/QSY. Otherwise big guns will simply alternate running
on two frequencies 5KHz apart or more.
