In Response To: Clock settings for DMP series (Jason Lee)

For the full range of practice scenarios perhaps you should vary the times for each game. The following strikes me as fun and instructive:

Game 1 -- Jason has 30 seconds reserve and Opponent has 4:30 reserve

With each successive game, Jason gets 30 seconds more reserve and Opponent gets 30 seconds less reserve.

Ultimately,

Game 9 -- Jason has 4:30 seconds reserve and Opponent has 30 seconds reserve

In this fashion each of you get to have 9 practice DMP games under a wide range of time scenarios, both in a real time sense and in a relative time sense.

So, you have some games where you're under time pressure, other times you can leverage time pressure on your opponent, other games you're on fairly equal terms.
