16. Reloading Canadian Byo-yomi time
During Byo-yomi in options 29 and 30, the byo-yomi time for the player whose clock is
running can be reloaded by holding the
setting option 30 this can be automated. The byo-yomi time will be reset after the
desired number of moves is played.
17. Adjusting the Time
If you make a time correction while using an option with multiple time periods, normally
the clock will assume that the same period that was being used before the correction is
still in effect. So when, for example, during option 10, in period 2 (Bonus), the time is
corrected to 3 minutes the bonus method will stay active.
Bonus tournament (option 21) however, offers the possibility to allot a number of moves
for each period. If the move numbers for each period are programmed to a non-zero
number then, during a time correction, the move number can be changed and the
correct period is calculated from that point.
18. Manual Settings
Parameters are saved in every manual set option until you change them or the batteries
are removed. If, after a manual set option, the game is ended and the same manual set
option is selected again, the parameters from the previous setting are saved. See
section 10 for a quick way to start the new game.
If in a multiple period setting, a period is programmed with zero period time, this period
and the following periods are skipped during the game. When a period is programmed
with a zero value for thinking time, no further parameters can be set for this and any
subsequent periods.
Manual setting option 21: Bonus tournament is the most advanced option. No-
tice that when the move number for a period is programmed zero, that period
will end when a player runs through zero time. If zero moves are programmed
for a period in option 21, all subsequent periods will also be set to zero moves
automatically. These subsequent period move numbers cannot be set to non-
zero value.
