Which timing option do DGT clocks have?

Game Time

In "Game Time" settings each player receives a certain amount of time for the whole game to complete all moves.

Move Time

In "Move Time" settings each player receives a certain amount of time to complete each move.

Move Time plus Save

In "Move Time plus Save" settings each player receives a certain amount of time for each move but any time that is not used on any turn is saved and added and can be used at later turns

Scrabble

In "Scrabble" options the clocks count-down until zero is reached and then start up-count.

Gong options

In "Gong" players have to make each move after a pre-set amount of time has passed and a signal indicates the end of their turn. This is a fun option for use at home or school.

Hour glass options

In "Hour Glass" options players start with the same amount of time on the clock (say one minute) but everytime one player's clock is counting down, the other player's clock is counting up.

Byo-Yomi options

"Byo-Yomi" options are more complex timing systems used in the game of Go or Baduk.

Period / time control

A game can be divided into a number of periods. In each period a certain number of moves have to be completed (time control). If there is only one period all moves in a game have to be done within that time. Often more periods are used and in each period a certain number of moves must be made within a certain amount of time. At the end of each period it must be checked whether the required number of moves have been made. In the last period all remaining moves of the game must be played.

Time settings

"Time" settings are basic countdown settings. When it is a player's turn his clock simply continues to count down.

Bonus settings

In "Bonus" settings each player receives a certain amount of extra time for each move. Playing with Bonus time per move is also called playing with Fischer Bonus or playing with increments.

Delay settings

In "Delay" settings each player has a certain amount of free time at the start of each turn before his clock starts counting down.

Move Counter

A move counter simply counts the number of times it has been a player's turn to move. It should be used cautiously because the move counter registers the amount of times the clock has been switched sides which may differ from the amount of moves made if players accidentally pressed the clock.
