What to do when there’s time remaining after LG

Heyaaaaaa

I usually finish all games in about 25 minutes and for harder sections, about 30 minutes. Mostly, i’d go -0 on LG but once in every 10PTs or so i’d get one wrong as a result of a stupid mistake. I find myself just sitting there for the remaining 5-10 minutes for LG not knowing what exactly to do. I also try to reread the rules and see if I wrote them down correctly, but even after that I I have time left.

What do you recommend me doing? Should I just take a deep breath, prepare myself mentally for the next sections and treat it as a mini break or is there something specific I can do to check my work?

I found this happening to myself as well and I'd make a stupid mistake if I was going so fast.

Usually I was right, BUT I think it could be beneficial to make yourself slow down just a little bit. Double check up front that you've made all the inferences and set up your game boards correctly. I've found that when I spend more time up front I make fewer stupid mistakes and really force myself to be sure of my initial answers.

Overall having extra time isn't a terrible problem to have.
