Is the 3 minutes the time to accept the invite or is it 3 mins untill it says 'your DQ etc'? because i was in a game tryin to be quick, on the black the invite went, and when i won 3 secs afta it said i was DQ.

that is a pain happened to me tonight but there has to be a cut off point. I dont think its 3 mins though more like 2 and a half before the invite disappears.

Just what I was thinking

it forces u to leave your game and lose points
it should be a longer rate i think 5 mins

but it could be argued. dont play ranked games during a tourny. I think the time limit could be an extra minute but no longer as it would drag.

Or, support the campaign for a 5 second time limit and only play those games when in a tourney!

I just pay attention to how the tourney is going, and when the last couple of games are nearly finished, finish the game I'm on and move over to the tourney room...

The tournaments are incredibly slow as it is, the limit certainly shouldn't be increased, its unfair on those who want to play tournaments..

I think the 3 minute limit is fine, just wondering when exactly those 3 minutes are up.

yer three minutes is fine for me.

anything more would probably result in a "traffic jam" of tournaments.

Theres a warning about 30 seconds before the time runs out, so there's really no excuse for missing a tourney game..

(just joined a tourney to try it out! The guy i got couldn't believe his luck!)
