Another suggestion for duel (Similar to Rapid/Blitz chess): Each participant say starts with 15 mins and can choose between problems of difficulty between say 2000-2400. Solving a problems increases your timer. Difficult problems increase your timer more. When timer hits 0, you are eliminated. Last man standing wins the game. Can even organise this as a group competition instead of duel.

Respectfully, how is it so fun to watch these guys spend $$$30+$$$ minutes solving some super hard problem? It might be more fun to see them speedrun $$$800-1000$$$ rated problems, cuz then it is fast-paced and most of the audience can understand what is going on.

    On the other hand, dueling on hard problema are more fun for us (atleast me). To strike a balance, we had all ratinga between 1600 and 2900, so we have a mix of easy and hard. I think your suggested ratings are somewhat absurd for a duel at our rating (atleast a traditional duel)

    Yes, such kind of format may be a bit boring, but I know how to to fix this issue. You see, not so much happens on screen because only 2 people participating. However, if it was, say, 100 people then it would be very entertaining even with small amount of tasks. The only thing that's left is to organise online competitions where 100s of skilled programmers will compete.
