It's dead simple. Really, it is.
There is a soft cap which, when reached and and ahead by 2, ends the
game. There is also a hard cap which ends the game when reached
regardless of whether you're ahead by 2. Standard practice is to refer
to the soft cap in the rules - game to 13 means the soft cap is 13. The
hard cap is always 2 higher, so would be 15.
When time is up, it reduces the hard cap to 2 more than the highest
score at the end of that point. So if you're up 12-0, the hard cap
becomes 14, not 15. But the /soft cap remains unaffected /- you'll still
win if you make it 13-0, 13-1, 13-2, etc up to 13-11. The only
difference is that if it goes to 12 all, and then 13-all, the game will
be won at 14 (and not 15 as it would if time was still running).
Time ending will NOT make your game longer.

Could I ask for some clarification on the "win-by-two" rule mentioned in the
Tour 2 schedule.
Below is a paragraph from the Notes:
"Hard Cap:
Games always finish if one team reaches the hard cap, regardless of whether there is
a two point margin. The hooter causes the hard cap to be reduced to two above the
highest score at the end of that point. For example, if the hooter goes during the
11-11 point, the hard cap will be reduced to 14, so the final score will either be
13-11 (game to 13, win by 2 still applies), 14-12, or 14-13 (from 13-13 - hard cap
reached). If the hard cap is set at 15 in a game which is 13-12, the game can still
be won 14-12 under the win-by-two rule."
The win by two rule isn't mentioned in the Rules, only in the Notes. The
Rules just states:
"90/75 minute game, finish the point, add cap of 2"
I understand the concept of win-by-2, but when did it start being a rule at
Tour?
It was my understanding that, in the example above, hooter goes at 11-11,
finish the point (resulting in 11-12) so game is to 14. How can you win 11-13
after adding a 2 point cap at 11-12?!
Could this be clarified, preferably both online and at the captains' meeting
since I won't be online again before I have to leave.
Cheers,
Graham
