(b)....................... 10 sec/move .............. 00.10 / 00.10

3.6 TOURNAMENT TIMING MODE
In Tournament Mode, each player has a certain amount of time to
complete a fixed number of moves. Whenever a player fails to meet the
required number of moves within the set amount of time, that person
has lost the game.
Tournament games require players to complete more than one timing
stage, with some games offering as many as 3 different timing stages
(Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary) . Each stage of the game has its own
separate time control, in which players must make the required number
of moves in the specified amount of time. If, for example, the first stage
of a game requires that 40 moves be made in 2 hours, and one of the
players does not complete 40 moves within that time, that player loses.
If, however, both players make 40 or more moves and there’s still time
left over from the first stage, the game will continue and the leftover
time will be added to the next stage of the game.
All of the Tournament settings are summarized in the Tournament
Preset Chart, and each individual Mode is also discussed in detail in
this section.
Press TOURNAMENT to enter Tournament Mode and automatically
select the default Preset (Standard Timing). Pressing TOURNAMENT
repeatedly will cycle through all the Tournament Presets, as described
in this section. Within each of the 6 Tournament Presets, pressing
NEXT/MOVE NO. repeatedly will cycle through the Primary, Secondary,
and Ter tiary displays, where applicable, with an arrow (%) indicating the
current stage. When your desired Tournament Preset is displayed,
press the appropriate Timing Activator Button to start your own or your
opponent’s clock (depending on who is playing first). If game time is
exceeded, that player has lost and the display will show -0.00 and the
Expired Time symbol (!).
IMPORTANT: Please also note the following points pertaining to
Tournament Mode:
• If, at any point in the game, a player fails to make the required
number of moves in the designated time, that player has lost the
game. The appropriate LCD will show the Expired Time display.
•A player can make more than the required number of moves within
any given time frame .
• During a game, the clock display will not indicate the Secondary
stage, nor will the Secondary time be added to the remaining clock
display, until the Primary time limit has been used up. Similarly, the
Ter tiary stage will not be indicated on the display, nor will the
Ter tiary time be added to the remaining clock display, until each
side has used up both the Primary and Secondary time limits.

after both you and your opponent have made a move.
