For tournaments in Loudoun County, the time controls I'd like to see are:

Both Long and Short Time Controls

Poll
Guest — Fri, 05/08/2009 - 11:12To keep things simple, the poll cannot be too detailed. But of course G/30 is not a long time control. Long is at least G/90, or 40/120, in my opinion. G/30 is good for club play but may not prepare players for USCF-rated events with long time controls, where one has to do more calculation.
