I may be having a "brain f@rt", but I know somewhere one of the COTG/LOW discussion boards that there was a chart or system for determining how long a match went on. It had something to do along the lines with a certain number of dice rolls equalled so many minutes. I just can't seem to find that entry. Can anybody help me? I was hoping to try it out.

That might be the one I'm looking for, but I don't know. I remember when I saw it that I wrote it down. It was only, like, 3 lines long. I'll look for it when I get home.

Good catch Graymar. This is a unique and interesting way of measuring match time...I'm glad it was archived. Props to John K. |

Good catch Graymar. This is a unique and interesting way of measuring match time...I'm glad it was archived. Props to John K. I found the one I was looking for, and it's a good thing I didn't try it out, because it made no sense. It went: 15 Minutes = dice count of 30 30 Minutes = dice count of 45 60 Minutes = dice count of 60 Whoever came up with this little system, it's no good for what I'm trying to do because I recently developed a TV Show Time Allotment Spreadsheet in order to help me write up my HEW television shows and cyber PPVs better, and during one of my more recent shows (I'm into March of 2009, BTW, to give me enough time to write up the shows), all of the dice counts of all of the matches went well over the 60 count, which meant that all of the individual matches were going well over 1 hour, and since I only have a "one hour format" to play with for weekly shows, that would mean that the very first match would've filled the entire show. I'll try that other system and see if it works better for what I want to do. |

I go with every roll of the dice is equal to 10 seconds. I use a pc dice roller I found online and it keeps track of every roll. All I have to do is count up the amount of rolls I made. Then the equation is: dice rolls multiplied by 10 seconds divided by 60 seconds for the minutes of the match. for instance; 32 dice rolls times 10 seconds is 320; divided by 60 is approx. 5:20

For me personally, the time length of a match isn't something I stress. I just imagine that somehow all my weekly shows like RAW and Smackdown simply go for their standard 2 hour length and all my PPVs last for 3 hours without worrying about it.  |

I do like John K's idea for match timing. I'll give it a try since at the moment I'm just coming up with a random time.

Then the equation is: dice rolls multiplied by 10 seconds divided by 60 seconds for the minutes of the match. for instance; 32 dice rolls times 10 seconds is 320; divided by 60 is approx. 5:20 Or divide by 6 and multiply the result by 10. Might be easier than dividing something by 60 in your head. But if you're used to it... The way I do it is to take the total dice rolled and divide by 20. So, 320 dice rolled would be a 16 minute match. Works for me because 320 dice is a pretty long match, IMO. And a full hour works out to be 1200 dice. It keeps the matches a little shorter, I guess. And it seems I have had more matches go to a draw in the uppercard since using it. But I don't mind matches going broadway. |

I think bazzy has a good formula, you might ask him.
