Speeeeeeeeeed Bowl
roante posted a question about changing the time limit from 4 minutes, to two. This got me thinking.

Chess, is horrible and boring. Speed chess is a hoot, and good fun for all concerned. So, the question is this:

1) Would you play a Blood Bowl league that capped turns at two minutes?
2) Would you plan a league that capped turns at 60-seconds?
3) How low would you go....

Technically there are 11 players to do an action with each turn. Given a latency of 50ms the lowest turn time doable is 550ms or 0,55 seconds. Still Woodstock can do it in 0,25 seconds.

I hear you, my thought being, let's assume a 60-second turn. You'd need to prioritize your actions, you'd have to move quickly, and cleanly, and the games would be much, much, quicker. This is less about being competitive, and more about having a laugh while the timer betrays you.

We tried this a while ago in a league. 1 minute turns. Lots of fun but we ran on an honesty basis. Gets to 1 minute, you end your turn. Doesn't need to be enforced if it's a league with coaches who will play to the rules.

bollox, dom. i often play turns in 30 seconds or so
Posted by Dominik on 2016-12-15 20:27:43
The theoretical limit is half a second! You're 60 times slower than possible.

since you draw comparison to chess; you could give each coach 30mins for their game; leaves them with just under 2mins per turn (excluding set-ups etc), but they can spend more time at a certain turn, but lose that time for a next turn. I can see that being stressy from start till finish. Might be interesting.

There used to be ranked tournament called Spead Freaaks Challenge. 1 minute per turn: https://fumbbl.com/p/group?op=view&group=4966

I don't see an option for shorter turns in the custom rule set, or in the league rules. That's annoying...
Posted by xnoelx on 2016-12-16 14:35:50
I went back and checked how I did it, because you definitely can set a time limit. When you create a tournament, it's the 5th option down the list. 1. Name, 2. Season, 3. Style, 4. Progression, 5. Turn Limit - set this one to 1 minute.

Awesome!
