eleanorsf Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 One reason I like auto tourneys is because they are speedy. But often a human declarer does not get enough time to plan the play at trick 1. I recommend changing the time limit for declarer at trick 1 from the standard 30 sec to 45 sec. This will not have much, if any, impact on the overall length of the tourney, since it's clocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Just to clarify, presumably you mean adding time for declarer to play from dummy, not also to play from her own hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's correct, only when declarer is planning play on opening lead prior to playing from dummy. All other actions would continue at the current 30 sec limit.
