In Response To: 2x(match length) + 1? (Ian Dunstan)

2 min can be a bit tight for a 5 pt match, but just make sure not to stew over several plays for too long.

However, lets look at 5 pt matches for a typical ABT. When do we champ players play a 5er? Well only in Last Chance which is almost meanless anyway and which often is conflicting with other events on Sunday.

Also many long matches break down to 5 pt matches anyhow so most champ level players have decent experience with cube actions and even scored based plays...ie they are more likely to be able to quickly determine the cube action for a 2 or 4 cube in a 5er, than they are for a 4 or 8 cube at a score like 4-1 playing to 15.

I'm ok with 2x+1 but do hope that the ABT and Denmark continue to just use 2x(+12sec) for at least a year more to gain more experience.
