Deadline Info
When you list out a game you will see the game's deadline parameters:
The parameters for 'bob' are as follows:
Move clock 660 min 12.00 next 72.00 grace
48.00 delay 0.25 days -MTWTF-
Retreat clock 660 min 0.00 next 24.00 grace
24.00 delay 0.25 days -MTWTF-
Adjust clock 660 min 0.00 next 24.00 grace
24.00 delay 0.25 days -MTWTF-
- Clock
- No matter what else, the deadlines
in this game will always fall at 660 minutes
after midnight (11am).
If you see a -1, it means the clock setting will be overridden by the
next setting.
- Min
- Regardless of how soon
moves are submitted, this game will not process
for at least twelve hours, but during retreats and
adjustments, there is no minimum before adjudication
- Next
- NEXT is the most important setting.
This game has move deadlines every 72 hours
and retreats/adjustments one day after the moves/retreat process.
When people say a game is fast or slow,
they mean it has a small or large NEXT setting
- Grace
- If you are late (Don't be!),
you'll have this many hours before you get kicked out of the game.
- Delay
- If you are the last to enter moves,
you'll have this many hours
to change your mind before the judge processes,
unless someone has
asked the judge to wait for the deadline (set wait).
Typically, you get 30 minutes (0.5 hours).
- Days
- The deadlines will only fall on the
days listed. A small letter means no morning deadlines.
