Editing the start timer on a Totally Accurate Battlegrounds (TABG) server allows the host to control the lobby's waiting period, granting players more time to load in, adjust settings, or chat before the match begins. A longer timer is useful for organized events or when waiting for a larger group to gather, ensuring all intended participants are present before the drop. Conversely, a shorter timer can accelerate the pacing for quick, back-to-back matches, appealing to players who prefer immediate action.
