            I read on the Holocron that a tournament round is supposed to be an hour. How long is the match?

            A tournament match uses the gambit, so I doubt they will last an hour, but I don't know for sure, since I've never been in a tournament.  I know playing Vassal, it usually doesn't last that long if I use gambit scoring.

            Standard tournament length for a game is an hour. It can vary from tournament to tournament.

Dynamic Duo and Tile Wars - 30 minutes at most. 100pts - 40-45minute 150 - 45-50 minutes 200 - 50-60 minutes There's really no need to go the full hour, outside of Regionals or the Gencon Championship.  In fact it actually really helps people learn to play faster with a shorter time frame.
