This is the reason why I became quite interested in this game and conducted my own little experiment of testing the punctuality of Kolkata FF. I have timed every baazi for a week to find out whether the results of the game coincided with the schedule stated. Everyone knows the official time when the first round starts – 10:28 AM and the last round – 9 PM. However, does it mean that the game is punctual and doesn’t make any delays? I’ve made an experiment with 48 baazis on Monday-Saturday and 4 baazis on Sunday. This is the information I’ve obtained.
The Official Schedule That I Was Testing
First of all, for the new subscribers who have seen my posts for the first time, this is the standard schedule of every baazi on Kolkata FF website:
- 1st Baazi: 10:28 AM
- 2nd Baazi: 11:58 AM
- 3rd Baazi: 1:28 PM
- 4th Baazi: 2:58 PM
- 5th Baazi: 4:30 PM
- 6th Baazi: 5:28 PM
- 7th Baazi: 7:28 PM
- 8th Baazi: 9:00 PM
The game runs on Sunday and consists of 4 rounds ending by mid-afternoon.
How I Have Conducted My Experiment
Not difficult, I swear. I have just set the alarms for 5 minutes before the officially announced time, opened several websites with the results and checked the real time of publishing of each of them. For each round, there were three times – the official time, time of the publishing of the first website and time of the kolkataff.net update. The stop-watch discipline and checking of the results every day for 7 days.
What the Information Has Shown
- The morning baazis (from the 1st to the 4th one) are the most punctual and results appear within 3-6 minutes of the official time;
- The 5th baazi at 4:30 PM is the most delayed and could be 8-12 minutes behind schedule;
- The 6th and 7th baazis are quite consistent and have the average delay of 5 minutes;
- The 8th baazi at 9 PM is quite surprising as the most punctual round. Maybe, it is due to its popularity;
- The Sunday rounds are faster than the other days, maybe because of less amount of visitors on the websites with the results.
What Is the Source of the Delays?
The punctuality is not the feature of the operator and there are a lot of reasons which cause the creation of delays in the chain. The official announcement appears at the officially announced time, but the process of the publishing of the results on the website takes at least 2 minutes. Some websites get updated in less than a minute, some – in 10 minutes. The average is 5 minutes, that’s why all of them seem to be “delayed”.
The Patterns That I Have Found Out During the Test Week
- Rain and the slow Internet in Kolkata influenced 2 baazis during the test week.
- The evening rounds were a bit slower due to the increased traffic.
- There wasn’t baazi that was earlier than the official time.
- The Sunday final round was the most punctual baazi of all.
- One baazi was delayed for 14 minutes and the whole WhatsApp was in chaos.
Conclusion for the Regular Player
The main conclusion of my week-long observations is rather simple – Kolkata Fatafat is much more punctual than people think it is, but the process of the updating online creates a natural 5-10 minute buffer which is considered as the unreliability of the game by the newcomers. If you didn’t see the result on one website after 15 minutes, you should check another website, but not to panic. Here, on kolkataff.net, we update the news immediately after getting the official result.
Final Words
The timing of every baazi for a week was the rather informative experience. The game runs rather precisely according to the schedule. The delays are rare and mostly technical in their nature. The only round which you can expect to be a little bit delayed is the 5th baazi. The rest of the day, if you know the official time, you can predict the time of the checking of the results. 5 minutes of patience will save your refreshing.
