Of course, people are used to the schedule of Kolkata FF and think that each baazi occurs exactly 90 minutes after the previous one. This is a good enough imagination but this is not absolutely correct. If you measure the gap between each round end to end, you’ll understand that the gap pattern is not as consistent as it seems to be. Some of gaps last for 90 minutes, some of gaps are a little bit longer and there is even one gap that lasts for 2 hours. However, all the timings on ffkolkata.net are set up in such a way in order to make you realize it but anyway, let me tell you about it.
The Exact Pattern of Gaps
Below, you’ll find the real time gap between each subsequent baazi measured from result to result:- Gap 1 to 2 (10:28 AM to 11:58 AM): 1 hour 30 minutes
- Gap 2 to 3 (11:58 AM to 1:28 PM): 1 hour 30 minutes
- Gap 3 to 4 (1:28 PM to 2:58 PM): 1 hour 30 minutes
- Gap 4 to 5 (2:58 PM to 4:30 PM): 1 hour 32 minutes
- Gap 5 to 6 (4:30 PM to 5:28 PM): 58 minutes
- Gap 6 to 7 (5:28 PM to 7:28 PM): 2 hours
- Gap 7 to 8 (7:28 PM to 9:00 PM): 1 hour 32 minutes
As you can see, the gap range is rather wide – from 58 minutes to 2 hours.
The Shortest Gap (5th to 6th)
The gap between 5th and 6th baazi is approximately 58 minutes long and it is the shortest gap of the whole day. When you check the result of 5th baazi at 4:30 PM, you’ll have less than an hour till the beginning of 6th baazi at 5:28 PM. The newbies often do not participate in 6th baazi because of misunderstanding the time gap between two consecutive baazis.
The Longest Gap (6th to 7th)
The gap between 6th and 7th baazi is 2 hours long. 5:28 PM to 7:28 PM is rather long gap if compared with other gaps in the day. Most of the players spend this time having a break and having dinner. The gap is rather long compared to other gaps in the day.
The Reasons for Gaps Being Unequal
The unequal gaps are not a defect but a deliberately designed feature of the game. Here are several reasons for that:
- The activity of the players decreases in the early evening hours due to the dinner time, that is why the longer gap is needed.
- 5-to-6 gap is compressed because it is necessary to fill up the period from afternoon to evening.
- The ticket selling pattern does not follow the linear chart, that is why the baazis are arranged according to the peak hours.
- The final 8th baazi at 9:00 PM is considered to be the “main event”, that is why there is no need to make a longer gap before it.
The Regularity of the Morning Part Is Higher Than of the Evening Part
So, you can see that the first 4 baazis (from 10:28 AM to 2:58 PM) occur exactly each 90 minutes without any deviations. Thus, the morning part of the day has rather regular rhythm while the evening part deviates from the pattern. It is just in the evening part when newcomers usually get confused.
Conclusion
The time gap between baazis of Kolkata FF is not constant throughout the day, and this information can help you to avoid missing the baazi or overestimating the waiting time. From the shortest 58 minute gap between 5th and 6th to the longest 2 hours gap before 7th baazi – each gap has its own pattern. You can see all gaps in one place on ffkolkata.net. Don’t forget that Kolkata Fatafat is the game purely based on luck.
