• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
In a tournament the way time is currently allocated per player is as follows:
1) Set max time for competition of game (x).
2) Set number of players per match (y)
3) Each player gets x/y time to complete their moves.
This set up makes perfect sense for games that are played one turn at a time (Carcassone, Thurn & Taxis, Spendor, Kingdomino, etc), but it causes problems for games with Simultaneous Play (7 Wonders, Sushi Go, Welcome To, Draftasaurus, etc). In the simultaneous games, clocks run down together, which means that every player is able to run out of time before the max time for game completion has expired. I just completed a game where this happened, all 4 draftasaurus players were timed out and it was only due to the good sportsmanship of the players that time was not called.
I do not have a perfect solution for this problem but I think a general rule of thumb might be to allocated x/(y-1) time -
