    Sorry If this a repost or if it is posted somewhere.

    The ctth bracket is a speed bracket.

    I have played several rounds where Im the only one that plays the second round.

    I myself thought it was a 24 hour bracket when I first played.

    Just letting you know

    Sorry, but I still have no idea what a speed bracket is, or the rules concerning one.  I've read every word of the (very outdated) Help/FAQ and there is no mention.

    All the posts I see asking about it are met with "Read the rules, idiot."

    With no link to the "Rules".

    Any help from an admin who could point me to the Rules would be appreciated.

     

    Thx

    You start your first match, then you have 30 minutes to finish it. If you get through to the next round, you have another 30 minutes to finish that. And so on.

    Here's what I think I've figured out so far:

    You start your first match. You have to finish it within 30 minutes.

    The next round begins IMMEDIATELY at that time, and then you have 30 minutes to complete that round. You can't be watching the leaderboard because it will not update at all except that the clock will run out and be replaced with "THE ROUND HAS ENDED"

    You have to back out of the menus and come back in to see if you are still advancing.  This may take several tries, during which the clock is running on the next round anyway.

    If you win the bracket, you might not know until you read the automated e-mail.  This e-mail tells you to take your winnings of 0.00 credits to the Pro Shop to upgrade your equipment.

    Every CTTH Bracket is a speed bracket, except that the time is 15 minutes instead of 30. These are not labelled "speed brackets", but they work the same way.

    Similarly, if you win, you won't find the leaderboard in the Brackets menu.  You might get lucky and find it in the Tournaments > Brackets > Closed Tournaments section from the home page.

     

    I learned these things mainly by getting kicked out of 90% of all bracket tourneys I entered.  If anything is incorrect here, let me know.  Otherwise, cut and paste into the Help page by magic, because the admins won't.

    Thanks,

    PP

    You can also find every leaderboard of every bracket you've entered and completed a round in by going to your score history and clicking on the links ...
