Hold and Courtesy Draw Indictors
Your GameTime™ also helps to keep track of two other time periods for crossword
games. Because GameTime™ uses the Chess
DELAY
digits for this important feature,
the
DELAY
feature is not available for Word game mode.
When a player has completed their turn, their opponent may challenge any word or
words formed on that play. Once the player has started the opponent’s timer, the turn has
ended and may be challenged.
When the opponent is considering a challenge, they must promptly advise the player not
to draw replacement tiles. Calling “hold” does this. An opponent may call “hold” up to
20 seconds after their timer has been started. GameTime™ counts these 20 seconds
down and shows the time in the middle of the display.
After this 20-second period has counted down, GameTime™ displays an
H
in the same
location for a period of 40 more seconds. This corresponds to the Courtesy Rule, that
says if a player calls “hold” with their own time running, their opponent need only wait
approximately 60 seconds for the player to say “challenge” or neutralize the plungers.
Once the
H
on the display goes off, the player waiting to draw tiles may do so if they
wish.
