beowulf Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I don't have a lot of experience with the 18-board robot tournaments because I usually don't have time to play them. But occasionally, I do. However, the timing is completely different from the 12-board tournaments in that you're expected to finish in a reasonable amount of time. My problem is that I'm not used to that and I take advantage of the long time available for the 12-board tournaments by getting on with other jobs, answering the phone, whatever. So, it comes as a shock to find myself on the last board of an 18-board tournament and suddenly I'm out of time - and as far as the tournament is concerned I was never even in it. Would it be possible to post a warning, say after 14 boards have been played and the player needs to speed up? Or perhaps any time that a player falls behind schedule by more than say one minute. I realize this isn't a big deal - I could pay more attention to the clock myself. But it would be a nice courtesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
