Not reminding your opponent to press the clock

At an Indianapolis 1-day tournament in early December (with clocks required, and there were plenty of Intermediate and a few beginners), one first round 9-point match took 3 hours. (Timing was standard 2m/matchpoint/player +12s/move.) The match consisted of at least 16 games.
I don't remember the individual times remaining at the end. It wasn't a Koca-vs-MCG finish but at least one was under a minute and the other was at best in the low 1's.
If one of them had timed out and they were given extra time, there would have been a mutiny and I would have been at the front swinging a sword.
