Big pause cut-off

by Nathanknight22 Sat Apr 25, 2015 10:26 pm

Hi, I was wondering if someone could tell me what should be the cut-off in the amount of time that can be spent in setup and big pause together? 3 minutes? 4 minutes? Less? Thank you very much.

Hey Nathan,

We tend to shy away from any DEFINITIVE timing benchmarks, simply because every passage is different. I think there are passages where 2:30 is plausible, and passages where 4:00 is plausible. Though probably 3:15 isn't a bad aim point in general, flexibility is always a good thing.
