I don’t think time had anything to do with the plunge quit. I think KME didn’t want to try to figure out rules for DI, and try to execute, and he would have likely failed and maybe then the thread could be “Elwin can’t play Dialed In!”
In any case, I tried to do what he didn’t at TPF, and felt a fool, cause I don’t know the game either. He made a smart play, imo.
As to the game setup/ time factor. Some of the time was actually waiting for games that others had chosen as well, not actual playing.
Sharpe’s don’t care how long things take really, it’s a world championship and nothing should or will be rushed.
