Answer

Ruling: When time is called, the current player finishes their turn, then five additional turns are played. If the game is still incomplete, the player with the highest score wins; if scores are tied, the game is a draw.

Sequence:

  • Current player finishes their turn
  • Five additional turns are played
  • If game is incomplete after additional turns, highest score wins
  • If scores are tied, game is a draw
  • Winner of match is determined by who has more game wins
  • If game wins are tied, match is a draw

Nuances:

  • Additional turns are untimed, but at high OPL a judge must be present to ensure reasonable pace
  • If players are between games when round time ends, no new game is started
