Excalibur 750GT-2, Instruction Manual

lasts no more than four hours – a three-hour playing session (90 minutes for each
player), followed by a one-hour sudden-death session (30 minutes for each player).

•   Professional-level tournaments with one game a day might offer a primary time con-

trol of 40/2, followed by a secondary time control of 20/1, and a sudden-death time
control of G/60.

•   A secondary time control repeats if there is no sudden-death time control.

The GameTime™ also offers some innovative time controls.  For example, the hour-
glass time control subtracts time from one player’s clock and adds it to the other!  See
Chapter 6.

How preset time controls work

The preset time controls simplify the process of setting up to play a game.  You don’t
have to enter the amount of time and number of moves for primary, secondary, and sud-
den-death sessions.  Just select the preset time controls that suit your needs, and
GameTime™ will set up everything for you.

You’ll find a chart of preset time controls on the underside of your GameTime™.
Appendix A provides a complete chart, and can be easily photocopied.
