Chuck, I think you should remember to turn off pip-counts, and then add a little extra time, because of the faster rolls and bot-play.

Because in a normal live game, you have to spend time counting pips or at least spend time evaluating the race or pip difference during the game. But you actually spend time thinking about the game strategy and pip-counts when it's your opponents turn as well, and while shaking/rolling. Especially if you are moving towards the top of your doubling window.

Therefore I'd go with more time than you suggest above. (but it depends upon how fast you have set your bot GUI moves!)
