x5, same as the ordinary tournaments (time buffer 6.5 days, incr. per move 10 hours).
When a game lasted a long time, the increment per move is gradually reduced.
Longest time to move 3 days, gradually reduced to 1.5 days.
If a player does not start any game within 3 days, he is disqualified as a no-show.
The "!" next to a timeout warning is set when the available time from one move to the next has fallen below 10 hours. It indicates that you're approaching a problem with timing at night. When the time buffer left is less than 1.5 day, a blue warning is shown. When the time left till timeout is less than 24 hours, a red warning is shown!
How to see your rest time buffer:
On your "My current games" page:
at the bottom of the page, click "Enter" to "Show my games and time buffers".
Here the time buffer left is shown, and in parentheses the current status of three additional parameters:
the time added to the time buffer at a move, in hours (depends on the total time used by the player).
the total time used by the player, in days.
time limit to do a move, in days (depends on the game length in number of moves).
Fx.
Player: 6.5 days left of time buffer.
(10h, 2.1d, 2.7d)
means that 10 hours are added to the time buffer when you move; you have used in total 2.1 days for this game; you must move before 2.7 days.
If at any time you want to leave the tournament, please say so in the chat forum.
A player who causes more than half of his Round games to time out or does not show up for the round, is disqualified from the tournament.
