Here is rule 6 All monitors must be positioned so that the operator’s activities are clearly visible to the opponent. An operator may only: [a] enter moves, and [b] respond to a request from the computer for clock information. This latter activity must be observed by the Tournament Director or his designate. If an operator needs to enter other information, it must be approved ahead of time by the Tournament Director. The operator may not query the system to see if it is alive without the permission of the Tournament Director. I do not see when it is written that the program must ask for the time. I am not allowed to change the time if the program does not ask for it but I am allowed to start the game with 2 hours for all the game on winboard and only enter moves because the program never asks for the time during the game. I think that at least for the first round I will use this option. Other options seem too risky to me. Uri
