There was an earlier discussion of time limits.  I post the following for
comments, as preparations continue.

Proposed time regulations for the Multivariant Tournament:

1.  The clock starts at noon Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5) on February 1,
2003.

2.  You must move within five days of receipt of your opponent's most
recent move to avoid using time units.

3.  A move requiring 120 hours or more to make costs time units:

	120:00 to 239:59 (5 to <10 days)....1 unit
	240:00 to 359:59 (10 to <15 days)...2 units
	360:00 to 479:59 (15 to <20 days)...3 units
	480:00 to 599:59 (20 to <25 days)...4 units
	600:00 to 719:59 (25 to <30 days)...5 units
	720:00 to 839:59 (30 to <35 days)...6 units
	840:00 or more......................forfeiture

4.  If you use more than six time units in a game, you forfeit the game.

5.  You should promptly notify your opponent if you do not receive a reply
within 10 days of sending your last move, with a copy to the Tournament
Director.  This notice should be repeated after 20 days, and after 30
days.

6.  If your opponent uses time units for a move, you must confirm the
number of time units used for that move with your reply.

7.  If a disagreement arises concerning time units or a time-forfeit, both
players are expected to notify the Tournament Director immediately, and
comply with his directions.

8.  The Tournament Director may, in extraordinary circumstances, and with
or without specific application by the players, add one or more time units
to both players' available units in any game.

9.  The Tournament Director is Glenn Overby II, [email protected].

(NOTE: This is the approximate equivalent of a rigid 5-day-maximum per
move with 30-days flexible leave, and without prior notice requirements
for leave.)
