Clock obligation

I strongly believe the time is ripe for clock obligation in all backgammon tournaments big ones as well as small ones. Even at your local weekly tournament every match should always be played with a clock.

All classes, all events, no exception. There is no reason what so ever that the intermediate class shouldn't use clocks. The organizational benefits are huge, while the only downside is that there are a few old timers who will complain for the first couple of times, but they will get around.

Let's stop messing around with half assed clock preference policies, and be consistent. Clocks in every match, always!
