Subject: How is this a time out?

Tournament: ABSTRAKTA BACKGAMMON CHALLENGE 2007, Discussion - 2 messages
Game ID: 2516237, Match ID: 161261

This tournament shound have a 30 day limit and no bonus, but it times out in under 3 hours. It does not make sense.

purplehawke: It makes sense but you don't understand Fischer's clock. The game started 30 days ago, now it timeouts.

purplehawke: To learn more about the different time limits, check out this article: http://brainrook.com/archives/54-Time-limit-for-games-on-BrainKing.html

I've wrote it up awhile back since the fischer clock games can really fool many people - heck, I don't even sign up for those types of games anymore. Anyway, I tried to explain with examples in the article and many have found it very helpful in explaining how the different time limits work.

Jim Dandy: Did you set the option of "Days after the deadline before a tournament with not enough players is deleted:" to 7 days, or 29 days (with I think 29 days is the max)? Of course now that it is deleted, there is no way to check I don't think.

Jim Dandy: Plus I believe you can still edit the start date settings before the tournament starts. So if you see that it is about to be deleted, you can edit the tournament to another date to give more time for people to sign in.
