Invite Timers
Posted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 3:16 pmHey have a question about invites.
So, here's the situation. I'm in a 2 player freestyle tournament. Since the last person to sign up immediately gets to take their turn, they tend to have the forward momentum. So, one of the players asked for an addition to the rules of this tournament that would make it so that a player not signing up within their initial 24 hour invite time limit would forfeit that game. On my most recent game, I was paired with the player who requested this rule. I had a hunch we would be in for a game of 'run out the clock' kinda like 2 people waiting until the last second on ebay.
So, with neither of us joining close to 24 hours after the invites went out, I finally decided to join with only 10 seconds left on the invite clock. 5-6 minutes later, the other player joined and the game started. I asked the person running the tournament, and he said he sends invites out seconds apart. So, the question I have is this: Is there a refresher on the invite timers? i.e. if one person joins, it adds on time to the other invites, similar to how eliminating a player in a quick game gives you additional time?
Thanks for helping clear this up!
