Time extension
(Redirected from Time extensions)
A time extension may be applied by a judge during a sanctioned Magic: The Gathering tournament.
From the Tournament Rules (May 13, 2024—Outlaws of Thunder Junction)
- 2.6 Time Extensions
If a judge pauses a match for more than one minute while the round clock is running, they should extend the match time appropriately. If the match was interrupted to perform a deck check, players are awarded time equal to the time the deck check took plus three minutes.
Feature matches at a tournament with online coverage receive a time extension equal to three minutes plus time elapsed in the round when players reach their table. This is not necessary if feature matches are being timed separately
Certain slow play penalties add turns rather than a time extension. These additional turns are added to the end-ofmatch additional turns.
