Examples Of Special Settings - DGT 3000 Manual Del Usuario

When a player has 10 seconds left in any moment a sound will be heard. The last 5 seconds of a
moment, the timer will beep every second.
Sound is on by default in byo-yomi, but it can be switched off at any time.
When a player reaches 0.00 in the byo-yomi period then a non-blinking flag is shown. The byo-yomi
will however be reloaded when the player ends his turn. The flag will disappear after the opponent
ends his turn.
CAN BYO
Canadian byo-yomi is usually preceded by a TIME period. Canadian byo-yomi can only be set as the
last time control, but it can also be the only period.
The maximum byo-yomi time is 9 minutes 59 seconds. The number of moves cannot be set. When a
player has completed the required number of moves in the Canadian byo-yomi period, then he can
reload the time by pressing the  /
button for 3 seconds. Then the next series of moves can be
played. Even when a player reaches 0.00 in this period, then a non-blinking flag is shown. The flag will
disappear when the opponent ends his turn.
UPCNT
The method Upcount has no settings. The time always starts at 0.00 and counts upwards.
The Upcount method can only be set as last period.
END
When you do not want to set any subsequent periods, then you should choose END as last method.
After accepting END, FREEZE and SOUND can be set. It is necessary to set these separately here, so
these settings will be the default in this option number.
Before the clock is started, the position of the lever determines which side will start to run first. The
DGT 3000 assumes that the player with the white figures will do the first move.
The settings in options 26 till 30 will be saved, even after the clock is switched off or when the
batteries are removed.

Examples of special settings

Armageddon
In Chess tournaments sometimes a decision should be forced after a tie. Then the so called "Arma-
geddon" method can be used. In this method White receives more time then Black, but Black is the
winner if the game ends in a draw.
