In Response To: clock ruling/setting hypothetical (Chuck Bower)

Yes, it would be fair.

Or to be more specific, it would be fair for some value of the extra delay time. The reason that you would want to adjust the time in the first place is that giving the disabled player just the standard time delay would put him at a disadvantage. Also it seems clear that allowing him too much time delay would put him at an advantage. Somewhere inbetween nothing and too much there must be a point where he neither loses nor gains.

Setting that point is of course a matter of judgement, and I think one should err on the side of caution, and be more afraid to overcompensate than to not compensate enough.
