In Response To: Why clocks aren't used at all tournament levels (Timothy Chow)

There are enough such people, and clocks are a recent enough introduction, that clocks are still not used in all tournaments.

I think the only real reason clocks aren't used at nearly every last tournament on the planet is the lack of wanting to provide (pay for) them or haul them around. If you offered every TD enough clocks without the hassle of buying them or carrying them around I think 99% of them would happily accept them and clock the Open, Masters, and doubles events. The Intermediate and Beginner brackets are a different story I won't get into right now.
