Table Duration & Longest Tables

[AliLouM]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone had any insight into table duration / length, specifically:

- Is there a way to tell when a table was started? Whilst still playing or once finished?
- How is the duration on a finished table calculated for turn based games? Is it real world duration or only time taken for turns whilst the payers are logged in?
- Are there any records stats of longest / shortest table duration available?

I have tried searchin FAQs and forums and suchlike for more information on these but had no joy.

TIA for any relevant info, Ali

Hi All,

It says so on the table page. If you're currently at the game, click on the BGA icon to go to the table. If you click on a finished game, it should take you to the table straight away.

- How is the duration on a finished table calculated for turn based games? Is it real world duration or only time taken for turns whilst the payers are logged in?

Real-world duration. So if people seldom log in, they will probably have a high thinking time in their stats. The rhinking time of all players combined should be the total game duration shown.

- Are there any records stats of longest / shortest table duration available?

None I know of

Not necessarily. Not all games are 1-player-at-a-time. For example, in roll-and-writes (like Welcome To or 7 Wonders Dice) it is generally everybody’s turn at the same time. I would not expect the sum of the thinking time to equal the game duration in those games; the sum would be much greater than the duration.
