I think the link is broken, but here is my explanation turning off the time when playing with friends. Once you have selected the players and the game, the table administrator get a screen with options. On the left, there is an option for training mode (no clock, no trophies) or normal mode (clock and trophies). for manual and automatic games, you can set your preference for training mode games (in the settings) but you may end up in normal mode if there are not enough players wanting to play that game in training mode at the time you want to play. In some games, you must select advance settings to set a preference for normal or training mode

works for me.

The link works, but it would have been more helpful if it weren't in Chinese.

I suppose you can deduce it's the option above the game speed, judging by the numbers.

During table setup (so after PLAY NOW -> MANUAL -> selecting your game -> Create), you have on the left panel the settings. The first option named "Game mode" will be either "Training mode" or "Normal mode", and you can switch between the two.

Is there a way to change the default mode? It's ALWAYS on Training mode and half the time I forget to change it to Normal mode

It seems that it somewhat remembers previously selected options. I'm not totally sure, but it seems that for me, if I've previously set up a table and completed the game, then the next time I set up a table for the same boardgame then BGA remembers my previous choices and put them as defaults.
