Deadline Info

When you list out a game you will see the game's deadline parameters:

The parameters for 'bob' are as follows:

Move    clock  660 min 12.00 next  72.00 grace  48.00 delay 0.25 days -MTWTF-
Retreat clock  660 min  0.00 next  24.00 grace  24.00 delay 0.25 days -MTWTF-
Adjust  clock  660 min  0.00 next  24.00 grace  24.00 delay 0.25 days -MTWTF-

Clock

No matter what else, the deadlines in this game will always fall at 660 minutes after midnight (11am). If you see a -1, it means the clock setting will be overridden by the next setting.

Min

Regardless of how soon moves are submitted, this game will not process for at least twelve hours, but during retreats and adjustments, there is no minimum before adjudication

Next

NEXT is the most important setting. This game has move deadlines every 72 hours and retreats/adjustments one day after the moves/retreat process. When people say a game is fast or slow, they mean it has a small or large NEXT setting

Grace

If you are late (Don't be!), you'll have this many hours before you get kicked out of the game.

Delay

If you are the last to enter moves, you'll have this many hours to change your mind before the judge processes, unless someone has asked the judge to wait for the deadline (set wait). Typically, you get 30 minutes (0.5 hours).

Days

The deadlines will only fall on the days listed. A small letter means no morning deadlines.
