will turn on near their time indicating overtime. For the second time control (overtime),
each player receives a number of stones equal to the move count for the second time
control. You have a specified amount of time to play those stones.
For example, preset 88 is G/30m 30/5m, which gives you 30 minutes of initial thinking
time. After that, you receive 30 stones and must play them in the next five minutes. The
small two-digit counter near the players
FLAG shows the number of stones remaining.
To set a custom time control for Go with Canadian overtime:
1. Review Chapter 5, then select one of the user time controls you wish to customize.
2. Set a PRIMARY time control with the number of seconds and minutes each play-
er will have for initial thinking time, and set the move count to zero.
3. Set a SECOND time control with the number of seconds and minutes each player
will have to play the number of overtime stones. Then set the move count to the
number of overtime stones each player is to receive.
4. Make sure the SUDDEN death time control is set to 0 seconds and 0 minutes for
both players.
CHAPTER 8.
TIME CONTROLS FOR WORD GAMES
Word game tournaments use two time control periods. For the first time control each
player has a specific amount of time, with no move count requirements. The main time
control period is similar to the
SUDDEN death time control used in Chess tournaments.
However, unlike SUDDEN death in Chess, the game does not end when the main time
control has ended. Instead when the player uses all of their time, the player enters an
overtime time control. GameTime™ turns on a
FLAG near the time of the player that
enters overtime. In overtime the time is counted up instead of down.
You must tell GameTime™ you want to play using WORD game mode, so that it
knows to count-up the time once the main time has been used up. Generally, word game
tournaments allow 25 minutes per player. This corresponds to
PRESET 14 .
Follow this procedure to set your clock for a Word game tournament:
1. Level GameTime’s™ PLUNGERS .
2. Slide the PAUSE/PLAY switch to PAUSE .
