In Response To: Time handicapping (Stick)

Stick "I also agree with Ben that this game has more than enough of an equalizer in it in the form of dice. The fact that someone like myself can hope to win at most 65% of my matches is disgusting."

And if you could play as well as XGR++ perhaps you could push that figure close to 70%. Anyhow, there is SO much luck in this game as we all know.

I believe that the current time controls allow more time than is necessary for many players.

I'd love to see a Quick Masters event at some tourney. Something like 1 min/pt rather than 2 and 10 sec delay rather than 12 would be worth a try. Delay time could be further reduced with a relaxed cock dice rule and/or baffle box.
