Time controls on ICC are of the form "5 12", where in this case 5 means 5
minutes of base time, and 12 means 12 seconds of increment.  So normal
coffeehouse blitz is "5 0", meaning 5 seconds base and no increment.

There is a concept called "etime", which is defined as base + (2/3)*inc.

Bullet is any game with etime < 3
Blitz is any game with etime >= 3 and etime < 15

So 2 0 and 2 1 are bullet and 2 2 and 3 0 are blitz, etc.

I don't know either, but it's always been like this.
