1. With the default settings, it's very close to SoD, not in 1v1, of course, but overall, it hasn't changed much; you could consider it SoD 4.2, for example.
2. In the 4000+500 tournament, this is my initiative as the organizer; I wanted to make sure everyone has enough time, and of course, nothing prevents players from agreeing with their opponent on any changes. In general, the turn limit issue will probably be adjusted with testing and gameplay improvements in WT with future versions, and perhaps with the completion of simultaneous turns, it will become even less relevant.
2. Players will agree something like, "4000+500 is fine for me; if it doesn't suit you, just write down your defeat."
I'm reasoning based on the fact that once an organizer of a cup decided that 4 minutes was too short for SoD and that the Portal cup should have 6 minutes. I got Rebelious in the cup. I said, "We play for 4 minutes, or you advance without a fight." Rebelious decided it was easier to advance without a fight.
P.S. The Portal rules stated 4 minutes.
