Cell Phone Timing

Cell Phone Timing can be a mixture of time systems like Fischer Timing and Absolute Timing, but depends entirely on a complex agreement between the players. Usually, the agreed upon system should be so complicated that no one person can completely understand it.

Some standard clauses for Cell Phone Timing include

Rollover

Works like Fischer Timing

Time of Day

Clock rate will vary depending on whether it is "evening hours" for instance

Distance

Clock rate may be affected by "distance" plays such as tenuki

Can you hear me now?

The clock may be randomly disconnected and reset

Vibrate

The clock may be set to vibrate instead of beep at the end of the time period

The rules can be expected to change every two years, or whenever you buy a new phone
