Default What are the Chess Tournaments Time Controls.

I would like to know the Basic Rules on Time Controls.

Things I want to know are.

1. Max time each player can take for a single move.
2. I have heard some 40 Moves rule. What is that?
3. What happens if the game takes more than 40 moves
4. Is it neccesary to have each tournament game played withing the Time
Control
5. Can we postpone a Chess game to be played another day (Say Someone
have a headache etc.)

I have heard of many types of tournaments

1. Lightning
2. Rapid Chess
3. Knockout System

And a few others. What are the differences in Time Controls for these
game.

game to be played in a tournament?
