Turn and Time Limits

The following measures will be taken to avoid stalling:

Each player will receive some points (5) at the start of the tournament. Before each game, I'll add an additional 5 points.

For every turn not taken within 24 hours, player will lose a point. Instead of going below 0 points, player will resign the current game. They'll also be required to resign if they don't play within three days (I'll allow 5 if announced in advance).

The same 24 hour limit applies for creating a game, being available for invitation, and accepting the game.

A player will be allowed to take leave from the tournament lasting no more than 14 days annually.
