Re: Feature requests

Fixed-time games - you have a certain amount of time, maybe 225 seconds, for all fifteen rounds, and you have to end rounds as and when you feel like it. (
This is a great idea.

Re: COMA Plate Tournament - Draw

Well done Martin. And well done Tom, very good conduct.

Draw for the semis.

Kai Laddiman vs Martin Bishop
Damian Eadie vs James Hurrell

I believe the Hask is on holiday so we may have to wait for him to return. However, Kai and Martin, whenever you fancy really.

Still a 1 game format.
