hmm it is strange that they want you to move that fast, but ok i can live without it.

"hmm it is strange that they want you to move that fast,"

 

People who play very quickly want to play with other people who play very quickly. This tournament is for this who play fast. There are others for slower players.

true, i just wouldn't consider myself a "slow moving player" at all. but it does make sense,

There are degrees. Many have less than 1 hour.

yes, i know, but a lot of the players i play wait till the last minute to move, it's maddening!
