works for all tournaments, not only for these with limit. You should respect your opponent and his time, so threating "i will play slow" is lack of decorum.Players that Stall-If an opponent is believed to be stalling for purposeful gain, or if an opponent is believed to be stalling through a lack of respect for or sensitivity to the time limit, the player can petition the tournament coordinator to observe the game. If the coordinator observes that the opponent is stalling more than what is reasonable and necessary, the coordinator can call the game in favor of the non-stalling player.
Will all opinions etc i suggest to wait till first Sauron's game. Sorry Agus but you will be a tester if your opponent plays annoyingly slow.
Yes but its like in european football - nobody likes to play against Italy, they dont cheat but all the time use some gaps, misunderstandings etc. They dont do anything against rules but...Sauron wrote:I'm not cheating, I'm playing legally.
You are only the only one complaining, rest players play every year without word about limit. So you accept the will of majority and also play fair (without stalling) or organize your own tournament with time limit. You cant force rest people to play the way you want. Do you believe your attitude brings new players into tournament games? There are some new players on gccg but if i were them, i wouldnt play any tournament after reading this discussion.
I ask you what is my purposeful gain as it releates to the game? Remember these are tournament rules, so as it relates to the game, what is my purposeful gain? There isn't any, so unless you want to make up a rule and DQ me you will have to. There is no purposeful gain for the game. 2 I can't be disrepecting or have no senisitivty to a time limit, if a time limit doesn't exist. This is all the rule is saying nothing more nothing less.Players that Stall-If an opponent is believed to be stalling for purposeful gain, or if an opponent is believed to be stalling through a lack of respect for or sensitivity to the time limit, the player can petition the tournament coordinator to observe the game.

I play legally within the rules of the tournament, that is how I play. What is fair or unfair isn't really up for debate. A new person comes to a tournment and plays against the Balrog but has never seen it before, is that fair or unfair? It's a judgement call. I don't bother with that, that's not my call to make. I play legally within the rules specified for this tournament. I'm done arguing and debating you all have been warned year after year after year to fix the root cause of the problem but no one does. I will do as I do and you will do as you must.
