As the starter of the other poll, I approve of this message (or poll in this case). 

1.  D) 1 1/2 hours average depending on who I'm playing

2.  D) 1 1/2 hours should be plenty of time to add a little extra time to a typical Type 1 game.

c c señor

I'll go with c) and e).

1) c
2) d - but I believe that both players should be allowed to agree to waive the time limit before the game if they both desire to play an epic 3 hour Prof Underwood style game.

Hey,

I find that ROOT games tend to either take 30-45 minutes or 2-2.5 hours.

I would like to see a 1.5 or 2 hour time limit on Root games.

It's possible to have two categories in ROOT, isn't it? You could have one with a 1-hr limit and one with none, couldn't you? Or would that just be too complicated?

I don't think there's enough interest in ROOT to split the field into two groups.

Expected game length:
1.5 hrs - 7 votes
1.0 hrs - 6 votes
2.0 hrs - 4 votes

Desired time limit:
1.5 hrs - 7 votes
2.0 hrs - 5 votes
No limit - 3 votes

Since I'm not in ROOT this month, do I get to vote Prof?

D, A. 

My opinion is that I don't feel a time limit is appropriate for ROOT.  It's an online tournament which inherently will take longer than a live tournament.  That being said, I do feel that (since this was brought upon by Sir Nobody/Prof U?'s game - may be wrong on the players-) that there should be certain situational rules set up.  For instance in a situation like where no one wants to take the first step, (what is it like 30 moves in chess is a stalemate or something) that a clear cut boundary is in place.  But, we are redemption players.....what's going to stop us from arguing rules?  Right?
