Time control and team questions about 960, BugHouse and CrazyHouse

Hi all

I have played 960 over the board and it's quite fun. That's what real chess is about, instead of memorizing long variations of opening theory. Anyhow, what is the time control I should use in order to get paired quickly over here at this site? In general I am a 10 mins (with no increments) player but I cannot get to pair up easily with that time control. Is it that everybody playing 960 plays it on 3 or 5 mins?

Also, the same question for BugHouse. I have never played it before, but the rules seem quite fun.

I'd also like to play CrazyHouse. Need some guidance about the time controls again, and how do I get to pair up and form a team?

You should do 3 minutes if you want to get a pairing early for all variants. Bughouse pairs you automatically.
