Time limit for counterpicking stages.

[Marc]

Want to know what this is about? Check:

It's basically like this: How much time should someone have AT MOST between matches to counterpick a stage? If someone doesn't choose within that time limit, the stage will be selected randomly.

Let's forget about toilet breaks and/or taking a quick bite/sip, we agreed that shouldn't be a problem at a reasonable level. Smoking however should be done before and after the set.

This may seem a bit trivial, but it apparently has been a problem in Germany. Having a rule about this doesn't seem so bad IMO.

30 second should be enough. You should know your counterpick stages. Your opponent can also loose his concentration in this minutes.

I would advice to use 2 minutes. Not because you'll always need them but basically to avoid discussion and all. If you have 30 seconds you can pretty much start timing after each match, with 2 minutes it's just less of a fuss.

I totally agree to this.

60 bloomin seconds lads. one minute is much longer then youd think. the only time it would go quickly is of your pressured and nervous. and if you nervous and pressured then your not going to win anyways. you could argue a longer time to give the opponent chance to cool down before his pick but meh. Also only an *** would start timing 60 seconds after every match so it would be more a case of this.
'Dude your taking your time'
'i cant decide'
'gonna put you on the clock, 60 seconds left'.

my point is it doesnt matter how long it takes to make a pick if the other person is cool with it. but if your opponent is taking too long THEN you put them on the clock, pretty simple, the simplest of times. i agree with myself, great judgement.

Guess what i voted for lol. but it doesnt matter the rule SHOULD be.
During your counterpick selection, your opponent has the right to put you on a 60 second timer at his descretion.

I also claim rights to this and its to be known as Jo3's Rule.

1 minute is more than enough.

 

[Helios]

I voted for 1 minute.
Any longer than that is absurd =P

The poll is closed. It's obvious 1 minute (or 2 minutes) is the way to go. It'll be tough to enforce, but at least you have something to rely on if it ever it becomes an issue.

1 minute. 30 sec character and 30 sec stage

making a rule for this is just stupid. or is it the fact that's it needed because some guy irritated the hell out of someone by not choosing a stage for over 20 minutes?

i would just ban that guy from the tournament.
if it's sooooo obvious someone is stalling, just kick the guy or something.

this should not be needed.
