You cannot start both clocks when both players are late!

In Response To: Time penalty vs. Point penalty (neilkaz)

I had not realized this until today.

If you are determined to use the clock as a penalty, the director would have to note the exact time when the first late arrival appeared, and then manually set the clock for both players to that time. Only after doing that could he start the clock running for the second player.

Together with the other arguments I have seen in this thread, this convinces me that penalty points are more practical than starting the clock.
