Thanks, it works!
But I suggest to staff to put in default screen also 60|0
I think a lot of people (expecially older people) like “classical” game.

Rapid 60 minutes doesn't exists 
From the rules:
Appendix A. Rapid Chess
A.1 A ‘Rapid chess’ game is one where either all the moves must be completed in a fixed time of more than 10 minutes but less than 60 minutes for each player; or the time allotted plus 60 times any increment is of more than 10 minutes but less than 60 minutes for each player.

At this server I suggest always matching for double or close to double the time control you are lookin for. You can legislate whatever names for a category you want. The fact that games here are rated in the same pool from 10 minutes to infinity means that you could set the clocks for 24 hours. And your likeliest random opponent will be some one trained to see 10 minutes as "slow chess." Will likely force the game time to be cut in half looking for lazy credit and be scored as a "classical" player. It doestn matter that you still have the right to spend your own time if your opponent knows you were prepared otherwise and must match his pace to avoid time pressure. This is the main reason this server is known for the least accurate Elos on the internet. Or at least the least relating to chess skill. The best idea is to not put ur rating at stake randomly but to join a club such as DHLC n build a network of players trusted to respect the time control.

That is correct in terms of chess in general, but on chess.com if you create even something like 2 hours per side game, it will still count towards rapid rating, as there is no classical rating. Along with that, 10 minute game is blitz OTB, but here it is also rapid.
A shame really, but there are obviously too few of us who play longer games for them to bother implementing classical rating.
But I see people play 60 minutes.
How to play 60 minutes?
Thanks for your help.
