5+3 tournaments

5+3 tournaments instead of 3+2 in the following games because it often results in time scramble in my opinion:
Amazons
10x10 draughts family except Frysk and maybe BRKTHRU

adding to the list that (IMO) Go 19, 13, 9 all need a X+10 (I would say +5 is human random play, between processing the position and submitting the move, +10 is the minimum viable option)

We were intending to review time controls soon, so thanks for raising this.

Any other user feedback on this would be welcome.

I've noticed Amazons scrambles as well, and can appreciate Go is particularly short.

@statmatt Games I also considered are Breakthrough and Grand Othello, but compared to the ones mentioned in the post, time scrambles aren't as common
