In the players meeting the following was agreed instead:

2 games 30 minutes

if still draw

2 games 30 minutes

if still draw

toss for color, then

1 game 15 minutes

(If I remember correctly)

The idea is to avoid a medal being decided on SOS/SoDOS, which is
particulaly tricky with so many new entrants which are hard to seed
correctly. (In case of Leela, she had to play two programs early on
which turned out to be the weakest ones, thus ruining the SOS)

I'd have some preference for playing the decisive game with komi = 6.5,
but apparently thats not possible on KGS. I think with komi = 7.5 white
is scoring very high (too high?) in the top games.

But the problem with the playoff games is the schedule right now...
