Newbie time question

Hi, new player here. I am slightly confused by the time controls, in the rules it states minimum of one move every 60 days (which to me is a little over the top) but the tournaments state 40 days then 40 days /ten moves but it doesnt state if the first 40 days is for each single move or for a set amount of moves, say for example 40 moves in the first 40 days. Could some one please clear this up for me? Thank you. Tom

Time controls & increments

Hello Tom, the 40 days is your total time for the game, the increment (here 40 days / 10 moves) is added to your total time every X (here 10) moves. Consequently you have a clock for the game (limited to 100 days) and a clock for each move (limited to 60 days). Does it help ?
