I was not aware that they had changed the time limit. I was going by the tournemant rules and player conduct form they released before the first tournemant. I hope they post another one to reflect the changes made, like banning and anything else changed.

I play another minature game called warmachine. Most friendly games amoung friends we have no clock. but for tournaments, they have deathclock. Depending on the size of the force, you have a total amount of time to do all your stuff.  I think you could set this up, so both teams have so many minutes to make all there decisions. If your team runs out of time, the other teams get a incap. Less likely to have to do a tie breaker, and running out of time would not automatically lose you the game.  In warmachine, there is no reward for playing fast, but a penalty to playing slow. As long as you play at a average speed, you should not run out of time.  you could give each side 25 minutes, which in theiry means the longest the game will be is 50 min which i think in the current time limit?  Whatever is decided, it should not reward faster play, but makes sure everyone moves about the same speed for decisions. Some of the games, it looked like one team had 3/4 of the time used on them, which means if the other team is considering time, they do not have as long to play.

I'd make one amendment: if a game runs fifty minutes, give each side thirty to make their decisions, otherwise a tie is resolved by 'whoever plays faster wins'. It should be possible for a game to end without either team being penalised for being slow, or else we've lost track of our original goal.
