Time limit in seconds determines how much time players have to answer that task from the moment it opens. If team fails to answer within this time frame, the answer is considered incorrect.  Timers are used to make “easy to google” tasks more challenging.  Do not set timers to tasks where video is attached as a media – in case when video is loading slowly, timer might run out. Time limit is also not recommended for photo and video tasks.

If time limit is set then it is possible to use the Score depends on answer speed option. The option can only be set if time limit for the task is set.  Setting this means that one point is deducted from the task value after specific amount of time. The time period is calculated as:

Timer in seconds / task score value = 1 point reduction time

This setting is only applicable for positive score values. It has no effect on negative point values. Also it does not affect the activity station task.
