In the part:
[Tournament]
Tournament Mode=0
Days To Enter=0 Days
Max Times Blown Up=0
isn't the "Days to Enter" referring to death delay? And, if so, wouldn't that mean that this particular game has no death delay?

no brotha man.. it's kinda like an open game, that is closed after say.. 2 days of game start... good option for sysops that like a good game, but don't like new people joining to "re-enforce" another team

No Akor what the "Days to Enter" means is that if set, say to 10,
new players have 10 days to log into the game for the first time.
After that time has passed no new players will be able to log to
that specific game.

So what should I look for in the gamestats that will give the death delay time? Or is it found in the game stats and if not, where?

It's not in the game stats. The only ways I know of determining if there is a death delay or not is to either ask the sysop, or...find out the hard way. [:D]

Trait is right, and it is the most annoying setting of the game.
Many, Many games I have found out the hard way.

Well that should be in the game description page. But since it mostly isn't I guess the best way to find out is when you got sded to remember to always try to immediately log in again and use the cby tactic to go red. At the most you only lose a day, but you could be the first to discover cby cashing too.
As for "Days to Enter", I can see it is useful to prevent corp rotation that happens in some games. But, in 5-man corp games, if 2 or more members drop from the game after the time is up to enter the game, the corp could be have serious problems.

Or if you're in a 5-man game and suddenly half the corp goes on Christmas vacation and misses 2 or 3 days straight. Sometimes ya just have to drop people.

Just get a corp that plans on playing at the start and you won't have to worry about it. There is a reason that setting is under "tournament" settings.

also if the sysop uses the program that xentropy made the game delay will be in it if posted to the forums.

isn't death delay under the S setting (or whatever it is.. the one that isn't * but gives same info)
i recall many a time ripping on sysops for having no death delay w/o playing the game, were they all good sysops who posted that it had no death delay?
