New Baffle box at local tournament

1. At the beginning of the game one person tosses a die into the box. We then moved the die to the side so the next die coming out of the box does not hit the first die and change the number.
I've seen the wrangling that goes with this problem. There's one group of people that can't understand that it's a problem, and the other group of people who says, "OK, we'll throw two dice in, I'm the blue die and you're the red die, OK?"
Bollocks. The best solution is to just roll "normally" on the opening roll.
2. If both players agreed to use a baffle box, the only legal rolls are one where the person uses the baffle box. This came up when using a cup it is easy to automatically roll on the board, that is not a legal roll and MUST be re rolled.
Yes, definitely.
3. It is simpler to not use a cup, just pick up the dice and toss them in the baffle box. There were no mistakes in rolling without using the baffle box this way.
No way. Cups, or no baffle box. This is nonnegotiable.
4. With the clock, baffle box and cube you have three things that should be on the side of the board and only two sides. We moved the cube to be next to the baffle box.
The next invention we need is some shelving to place on the side of the board. It's a three-tiered thing. Clock on the bottom level, and it juts out a bit so I don't have to reach "under" anything. Scoreboard on the middle level. A tiny upper platform for the cube to sit, ruling over his domain.
