In our Rapid tourneys (Knockout, Rapid), the game control is fixed.
In our Slow tourneys (Monthly, Weekly), the default game control is 90' + 30'' inc., but you may order five different game controls by preference:

• 120 30,
• 90 30,
• 45 45,
• 75 0,
• 50 10.

If your opponent's preference matches yours, that game control is shown in your game forum, and will be selected for your game.

How to set preferred game controls

• Create your Snail Bucket account.
• Untick the checkbox that defaults 90 30.
• Use your mouse to drag your preferred game controls above others.
• Drag any game control you do not want to play (except 90 30) to the right.

Click "Profile" to adjust your preferred game controls. Drag elements up and down, left and right until you are satisfied with the result. This will not take effect for a round that has already started.

How do preferred game controls work?

Example	Result
Either player has elected to only play 90 30.	The game will be played with a 90 30 game control.
Both players have chosen the same game control as their first pick.	The game will be played with that game control.
Either player has a first preference that is the other player's second preference.	The game will be played with that game control.
Both players have a first preference that is the other player's second preference.	The game will be played with the shorter game control.
The players' first and second preferences are incompatible.	The game will be played with their first compatible preference. If preferences have equal priority, the game will be played with the shorter game control.
