In Response To: Time to talk about time settings (Chuck Bower)

I think that the estimated match duration should not in any way influence the free time settings. The free time should rather reflect how long it takes to pick up the dice, shake properly, roll, possibly reroll cocked dice, make an unhurried move, and hit the clock. 12 seconds feel about right to me here.

Then you can adjust the bonus time to meet your trade-off between having enough time to play quality BG, and getting the matches done in a reasonable time.
