Richard, 1. If the official start time is May 1, 2010 at 12:01 AM Pacific Daylight time, that means challengers on the east coast would have to; make ther challenge at 3:01 AM. Could there beDoq a different time to start the challenge process? 2. Do the 5 free days total of 10, get included in the three week time limit to finish the game? Does this mean they would have 11 days to finish their game in the event they both take their full 5 days? Also, what would be the result if one player takes all 5 days and the other takes no days, but the game runs over 21 days? Thank you in advance for your consideration of these thoughts.
