Rule Change #1: Shot Clock and Time Bank Updates<\/h2>\n

The most debated change is the shot clock adjustment. Players now receive 30 seconds per decision, with three 60-second time bank chips (up from 30 seconds each). This change was made after player feedback indicated the previous time banks were insufficient for complex decisions in large buy-in events.<\/p>\n
