Color-changing gomoku tournaments.

I want the time control for the game to be bigger, e.g. 5 min 2 sec. Then I will have time to think about the moves and not just rush. Please answer and comment.

I agree with this, as I've even run out of time several times (although I've still won some of those games). Although the time it takes to play a tournament increases accordingly, which may put some off...

A longer time would be better, yes.

I agree with cherry. And there could be Pente tournaments too

Yes, time is short. I changed it to 5 minutes in today's tournament, maybe in the future we could alternate between 5 and 3 minutes (some can only participate in the short tournament)? In addition, I can occasionally organize tournaments of, for example, 10min 5 sec on the weekend or later in the evening.

It is true that tournaments tend to be short on time, so you get really carried away and the competitor runs out of time quickly, and you don't even have time to think. I thought there were 2 types of tournaments. Tournaments with a faster time are for pros or those who are used to playing and want to play for a shorter time (e.g. 1 min) and for others (10 min, all in all optional).

Yes, we try to take into account the wishes of the participants. For this week, I currently have 6 tournaments 5min 2sec and one - Tuesday 1.5min 2sec (I have students coming to play at Laagri school and I would like to do a lot of rounds for them but with a short time control). If there is a desire to do a day for example 10min 2sec, then let me know if you are interested.
