people who use Canadian timing

[xed_over]

Why the different timings anyway? I select Japanese time setting only because I learned of Go from Hikaru no Go and it was familiar. I don't understand when they imported the game to different countries why they felt the need to change something like that.

Any thoughts? Just curious and this post made me remember it was one of the things I wondered about.

How else would you do 5 periods of 30 secs using a spring-wound chess clock?
