How does Rengo work at OGS?

See these threads. Very complicated and confusing. Maybe we should ask anoek for definitive current thresholds for blitz and correspondence.

Blitz games not counted properly

Hello! I recently played my first two blitz games and lost by a decent amount both times. When I checked my profile I noticed that the losses counted against my rank for normal 9x9 rather than blitz, which is a bit annoying since I would have played much differently in a normal game. Am I missing something?

Blitz games categorized as live

I just played a game with Byo Yomi 30s + 5×10s the average move length was under 5 seconds. However it was registered as a live game instead of a blitz. Is it a bug? In the following thread it is explained that the average move should be under 12 seconds for it to be categorized as blitz:

Blitz, Live, Correspondence thresholds (again)

I recently played a 30s+5x10s 9x9 game, and found it was considered to be a “Live” game, not a “Blitz”. I’m wanting to know where the threshold is. That’s 10s per move, plus an extra 40s at the end and 30s at the start - so an extra 70s. Would count as 12s per move if it were 35 moves. I’m guessing under 11s per move might count as Blitz?
