Dogfight Variant: Dogfight

RulesFormatsPencils

In Dogfight games, the time limit per round decreases with each successive round, to a minimum of 3 seconds. Otherwise it is the same as the standard game.

For example, if the starting time is set to 45 seconds (as seen in Top Dog games), the timing would be as follows (to the nearest tenth of a second):

  • Round 1: 45.0s
  • Round 2: 40.7s
  • Round 3: 36.6s
  • Round 4: 32.8s
  • Round 5: 29.2s
  • Round 6: 25.8s
  • Round 7: 22.7s
  • Round 8: 19.8s
  • Round 9: 17.1s
  • Round 10: 14.6s
  • Round 11: 12.4s
  • Round 12: 10.4s
  • Round 13: 8.7s
  • Round 14: 7.2s
  • Round 15: 5.9s
  • Round 16: 4.9s
  • Round 17: 4.0s
  • Round 18: 3.5s
  • Round 19: 3.1s
  • Round 20 and beyond: 3.0s
