The ICCF has announced a significant change to the rules relating to players exceeding time limits. The position is that:
A player who loses any game by exceeding a time limit (ETL) will now be restricted from registering for any new event on the server. The time period for that restriction is either 30 days or 90 days from the time of that ETL:
(1) If the player is not already under such a restriction, then the time period is 30 days.
(2) If the player was already under such a restriction (involving either a 30- or 90-day restriction) when the player’s most recent ETL occurred, the restriction is for 90 days from the most recent ETL.
