According to Pokegym's Eeveelover (And he'd know), the +3 goes even if prizes are not tied.

Yeah, he offered to call our PTO. I think he just misunderstood so I'll talk with him about it.
Anyway, I change my vote. I like the rule.
I like it personally.
-10 minutes isn't a huge deal anyway. Yall are making a huge deal about how slower decks will suddenly have such a hard time but by the time you factor in the 3 turns your probably close to 35 anyway.

I like this rule better than straight 40 minutes-
30 minutes + 3 turns is about 40 minutes anyways my question is this-
So are the three turns
Player a
Player b
Player a
Then over or is that EACH player gets 3 turns?
Anyhow i'd rather have 3 well played turns than trying to cram stuff into the last 10 minutes.

I like the +3 turns but 30 mins seems like not enough time.
I'd rather have 40 mins+3 turns but oh well, that would be ideal but i'd take the turns over the time i guess.
Its like this:
Player A - TIME GETS CALLED
Player B
Player A
Player B
GAME OVER
Player A - TIME GETS CALLED
Player B
Player A
Player B
GAME OVER
This is much better than anything they've had before. I've lost many games just because time was called, and on the next turn I could have won. It's better this way.
I like the time limit now. It'll save a lot of people from losing just because time was called. I usually play speed decks nowadays so it don't bother me at all. (plus when we did it at Nats, I won a couple of my games in the side events because of it.
Most prizes taken after the 3 turns wins.
The double game loss thing has been proven false.

Oh yeah. There was a time when I could've Warp Pointed for the game (would've gotten double Prizes), but no...time ran out. I kinda like this rule, but doesn't the person who goes first in the set of three get an advantage? Someone explain this to me.
Depends how you look at it. It makes it harder to stall it out on time, because you rather not have time called on your turn...
Just thought of something. After time is called who is going to keep track of EVERYONE to make sure they are going exactly three turns and not five or something.
Note about the bolded part from a Tournament Judge: Electronic devices are banned from the table. If I catch you looking at a clock or stop-watching turns, you will get a penalty. This is a super suspicious behavior no matter what your intent is. Don't do it if you don't want a confrontation with a judge.
You can't look at your watch during a game? That seems a bit excessive.
I didn't say you couldn't look at your watch. But if you look at it every 5 seconds during your opponent's turn it's going to draw my attention to you. It should. Timing your moves is tantamount to stalling, openly timing an opponent's moves is rushing.
