I’m not sure but i think that a 30 minute game can be rated as quick or regular. Which will it be in york?
Anything Game 60 or faster is typically rated both ways simultaneously;bb and that will be the case for both sections in York…..In York the Scholastic Section (k-12 students only)is game 30, and the Open Section for adults is game 60 (Game 55 with 5 second delay, or straight 60 analog clock.)
