   I looked through a couple pages and couldn't find an explanation anywhere so if anyone knows what the time rates for each kind (Bullet, Blitz, and Standard) are, thanks in advance.

kco

does that answer your question ?

Bullet = 1 or 2 minutes

Blitz = 3 to 14 minutes

Standard = 15 minutes and more

Rapid is over 15 minutes or more.

Also you need to take into consideration increment. I think increment is standardized as 60 moves for calculation purposes. Which equals +5 minutes/game for every +5 second increment or +1 second of increment = +1 minute of game time

So a 10+5 game would be considered as a 15 minute game.
