Searching for Tournaments - specifically around 30 min tournaments

Hi,

I would like to play longer time control tournaments, but I notice most are bullet or blitz. I cannot seem to find a way of searching for specific time controls to be able to narrow down the tournaments to the ones which fit the time controls I am looking for.  Is this possible on chess.com?

nope, unless a random guy just enters and chooses 30 min (which makes no sense why mot atleast 10 minutes or 5)

tournaments are only for people that have learned the important things and for those who think fast

if you go to New Game, then Tournaments, you can filter for Type->Rapid. there are Rapid Swiss tournaments all the time.

Hi @EternalZugzwang1977

perhaps this other post under Online Tournament Thread will help a bit (45m45s instead of 30m)
