In Response To: 2-point matches with doubling cube (Henrik Bukkjaer)

My point remains that it is basically pointless to have quickies be a 2 pt match when the correct strategy and as done by many is to cube at the first sign of a market loser.

Quickies are supposed to be quick and making them a 1 pt match assures that they are.

As for clocking a 1 pt match. 4 min reserve and 12 sec delay is fine, but I'd not clock quickies since quite a few intermediates and even the occasional good beginner will play them.
