Total time needed for a tournament game

[danielvictor]

Hi.I'm playing in a tournament where I think 14 hours 45 minutes was alloted to each player. Even with allowances for night time,that doesn't seem to be enough. The first two games I played in got decided on time,and in the third that just finished a player quit after running out of time. He hadn't been playing slowly,and tried to avoid running out of time,but probably got annoyed when he couldn't avoid overrunning. He also may not have wanted to play on when another player could skip his turn if he did well.

Look at the logs... he didn't quit the game, he was kicked by another player

As for the time limit, I still have trouble understanding why players join games and moreover tournaments when they know they won't be able to respect the schedule...
