===Penalty formats=== Such methods exact a points penalty, or fine, on the player who breaches their time limit. One example occurs in Go, where the Ing Rules enforce fines on breaches of main time and overtime periods.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ing's SST Laws of Go|website=American Go Association|url=http://www.usgo.org/resources/KSS.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061231074549/http://www.usgo.org/resources/KSS.html|archive-date=2006-12-31|access-date=2006-11-25}}</ref> The rules may also provide for a sudden death time control in addition to the penalty. In tournament [[Scrabble]], the time control is standardized to 25 minutes per side with a 10-point penalty for each minute or part thereof that is used in excess,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scrabble-assoc.com/build/rules/rules2.html#r3c2|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927223812/http://www.scrabble-assoc.com/build/rules/rules2.html|archive-date=2007-09-27|title=NSA Official Tournament Rules|website=National Scrabble Association}}</ref> so that overstepping the allotted time by 61 seconds carries a 20-point penalty; a player who oversteps by 10 minutes automatically loses; in this case, their opponent is given enough additional points to win by one point, if they were not already in the lead at that time.
