  For games with increments, you assume that the games last 60 moves and
calculate the time control as such. A game with with 10 minutes to start with
and 50 seconds added every move is considered rapid; 10 + 60 moves * 50 seconds
= 10 + 50 = 60 minutes. A game with 50 minutes to start with and 15 seconds
every move is not rapid since it comes out to be 65 minutes. 15-60 minutes is
considered rapid by FIDE.
