I enjoy the express tournaments. I appreciate the restrictions on bidding systems and because of the automated explanations od every bid, I recommend it to inexperienced players as a learning tool for SAYC.

However, there is a lot of stalling that goes on when players are headed toward bad scores and wish to (try to) salvage an average. Your adjustments are fair when you make them.

I would like you to tweek the system to improve it. Either lower the time limit to 30 seconds or make the warning time cumulative. If you get a 30 second warning and use ten seconds, next time you get a twenty second warning. I guess it re-sets every hand (or not).

I love the speed of the game and will continue to play regularly.

Thank you for running it.
