When I go to look at a tournament there are a bunch of number sets in front of the game type. what do they mean?

example : 5/5 blitz?

Game time in minutes and increment in seconds.  5 seconds is added to your clock every time you move; very useful in time scrambles.  I'll get a chart of the time controls available (if I can find it)...wink.png
