Is the 1|15 Delay Time Control for Teams Too Fast?

Sort:

It has been proposed that we switch to a 2|20 delay time control. Please let us know whether the you think the current time control of 1|15 delay is too fast for teams, or just right. We do not yet have enough users to add an additional time control, so we would need to switch completely over to this new time control.

I am in FAVOR of 2/20.

2|20 delay is better, but I think an abort system should be reimplemented, especially for teams. If after 30 seconds, a player has not made a move, the team player should be able to abort (the player who will unfairly lose rating). This is much better for random pairings IMO.

For teams I vote 2 20

For Free For All I Think we should keep the time control. happy.png

 

But, if we can only have one I would say 1|15 because it IS working for many people. and if you are like me you hope for your opponent to time out to snag the points.

Oh leave the abort button out the equation (not like the OP mentioned it in this thread), it was being highly misused.

2|20 sounds better to me.

It is not too fast! It is too slow!

Please do not go to a slower game! Very please!

May I suggest that there should be an option to choose any of the two time controls? Either 2|20 or 1|15.

It's directly linked to a longer time control, since you will have to wait 2 or 3 minutes if someone doesn't show up. He (the OP) indirectly brought it up by asking us about a longer time control.

Again, we will be unable to have two time controls until we at least double our current player base. We only have the players to support one time control currently.

 1|15 delay then!

I want custom time control for unrated games where all players are invited.

I am in favour of 2|20 time control.

2|20. Considering how complex the four player variant is, both in FFA and teams, a longer time control is needed.

I am thinking on 1|20 or 2|15...

2/20 is definitely the  better option.  1/15 is somewhat rough for the average player even in regular chess so to use it in 4 player is insane imho. I have lost so many games due to timing out (along with many others from what I've read in the forums) its not even funny anymore. Just my 2 cents... And making a stupid mistake because you only have a few seconds left and rushed the move is also a result of the 1/15. So yeah..... I'm all for the 2/20. It probably only adds about 10 more minutes or less to the game length anyway.

2/20 good for me (only in team mode)
