I think that is not the answer of a gentleman, as I imagined it was you, but hey you are right, but I meant as a suggestion to the future. actually when I registered for this tournament because I did TDT group and I set the game time

muy alto el time out, creo que el tiempo de juego es muy corto, un dia no es garantia de que se juege la partida como debe ser, a veces tengo problemas con el intrenet y ya perdi en las rondas anteriores por esa causa

very high the time out, I think the playing time is very short, one day there is no guarantee that the game is played as it should, sometimes I have trouble with intrenet and already lost in previous rounds for that reason

When you defeat an opponent, you receive the number of tiebreak points equal to the amount of their score.  For example if you defeat someone that had won two games you would receive two points for the tiebreak.

I understand that advance the top two spots, but .. if the third calls to second in points and tie break? advance three?

Klhn444, I am sorry to say that all lowering the time limit has done is ruin the tournament.  If you want a fast tournament, put it at 2 days a move.  If you want a "Who can avoid timeout" tournament, then 1 day a move is the way to go.

Too Quick for me, lost 1 game because of that! Now the lowest rated win the pool!

I am confused at why the settings were changed in the first place.  There have already been 49 timeouts.

Lament Klhn444 that you should leave the group, but I hope that you could return to the return of your vacations. To my also I surprised the change of the time for moved, luck that I saw the notice for e-mail but it had lost some game without knowing it.
One day for movement is for those persons that practically are connected to the site every day, it is not my case because I try to play those games that have as minimum 3 days for movement, to have some respite.

Happy vacations and we wait for your return.
