I have now programmed minimum time and maximum time into the time controls, though I have not tested them yet. One possibility for the time controls for this tournament is to give each player four weeks of spare time plus 24 hours of minimum time. After the spare time got used up, each subsequent move would have 24 hours of time due to the minimum time. Another possibility is to give two weeks of spare time, 12 hours of grace time, a 12 hour bonus for moving within 12 hours, and a maximum time of four weeks. The maximum time would put a cap on the time you could accumulate through bonuses, and the bonus time could be built up in advance when you know you're going to need some time off.
