Tourney breaks

calcalfold · March 2013

Why are breaks at 5 mins to the hour for every game?

When you have only ben playing a tourney for ten mins, the break time is infuriating.

Why cant it be one hour after the start time?

Simple answer is that they would not be synchronised breaks then and that would defeat the whole object of them. It is in place for multi tabling players, not for single tournament players and is a neccesarity IMHO.

Indeed it's annoying if you're just playing that one tournament.

On the other hand if you're playing four or five tournaments and you've got your legs crossed waiting for the break, you want them all to break at the same time so you don't miss anything when you dash for the throne room.

Why cant all the games for the day start at the same time in the morning, then all the 5 min breaks can be added up and we can all have an hour for lunch!

Also 5 mins to the hour is the same time as every site I've ever played on so people multi tabling across sites can still have synchronised breaks.

If we then decide to play on throughout this hour, will we get overtime?

@ OP..

When selecting tournaments you wish to play, use this below...

Start Time:     ...O clock.              Awesome time.

                    ...past                   Not too bad.

                    ...to                      OMG thats so infuriating!!!!
