And regarding non-standard timers: this is a minor issue and could have been easily resolved in ICQ, rather than posting on the forum. That's why I'm online almost 24/7. The classic 4-minute timer has been tested in tournaments, but 6+4+1 has not. It would be good if 2sm4d(3) was played on this timer with someone from the well-known players, not necessarily strong ones. I would talk to them and we would evaluate the timer. I cannot allow untested templates and timers in the tournament.

I suggested Rabe play on his timer; he is offline now, but I hope he will agree when he comes online. Then I will write about my impressions. But IMHO, it will be tough to play on that timer for cities where ranged units don't dominate, like Necropolis, Citadel, Swamp, and Inferno is also questionable, and even Dungeon, with all its horde of troglodytes, may also consume the timer. In general, I hope we play and I will tell you.
