Does that mean no more Speed Freak Challenges in [R]? |

As far as I can see, the last one was conducted in April 2010. The interest in them seems to have been lost.
That being said, they're still officially available. |

Then after choosing an action 5 seconds to perform that action. Then 5 more seconds to end that players turn. Without taking any time to think at all each turn was already pushing 55 seconds. Select the wrong player once and that adds 10 seconds to the turn. Want to check how many dice a certain Block will be... that'll be 10 more seconds. And so on.
I could play every turn I have ever faced in 2 minutes if I didn't have to deal with lag. But I cannot control when I will have lag and when I will not have lag. I also cannot control how complex or how simple the set of decisions I will be facing from turn to turn. Players must think about the game very differently if they are facing Elves instead of Humans, or Lizardmen instead of Slann, or Orcs instead of Ogres. And then what about Noobs? Whether they are noobs to the game of Blood Bowl... or noobs with the kind of team they are using... or noobs facing the kind of team you are using.
4 minute turns say the rules. Get used to it. Games should last an hour on average. Sometimes they go faster. Sometimes they go longer. I always find something productive to do when playing a slow player. Organize your sock drawer or something mundane like that. |
All that is why I am saying it should be an OPTION. If you want four min turns fine by me... |

2 minute turns would be really good in 7s as well. |

I believe there's an option when creating a league to set the turn-time. |
