Thrud

Post by cidervampire »

Personally I reckon Thrud is different from the other stars, he's specifically called a freebooter. If he is allowed then I want an entire team of freebooters so I can get my team at half price.

2 hour time allowance

Post by gallowin »

Got my tourney packet in this evening's mail. Can anyone clarify the time allowed for the games? I realize it allows two hours for each game but there is a break or lunch following these. Do the games get cut off right at the two hour mark or can they go a little over?

I wouldn't want to stop a game (RIOT) before it was finished but I know we'll want a stretch break before pounding our next vicitim.

I think last year a few games went a little over, but the vast majority were finished in two hours.

2hr game

Post by cidervampire »

Generally I take longer than this for a game, but I remeber last year, as I was aware of the limit I played quite fast. I really didn't want a game to end before it should have done. It played well, but left me a shaking wreck by the end!

We have one particular person that always plays slow in our league and I'll be practicing against him. My time concern was not in how fast I can play but more of getting an opponent who will drag out the clock. Not playing all 16 turns on a close game would be frustrating.

I was considering making a reference sheet of the weather table and kick off chart to cut down on page flipping. I'm sure space will be limited at the tables.

I've got too much info burnt into the brain as is. Need the quick handy references so that I won't have to think so hard. Besides, 9am London time will be 3am Texas time.
