Could you share the numbers now? And it wouldn't hurt to prioritize him. Otherwise, in the first game, around 2 AM, I waited for 40 minutes, or even longer, for my opponent's turn. His timer seemed to freeze at 3:01. I even managed to doze off twice in my bed. I was about to write to him to save the game, but I was too sleepy to think straight.
However, for the qualification rounds, the default timer will be the SOD timer, as announced earlier. There might be changes in the groups.
