Cups + Baffle Box

HOWEVER, this does not take into account the greatly reduced cocked dice rate that a baffle box can give, (depending on chequer thickness to some extent), as I used empty boards. If the cocked dice rate dropped from 10% to 1% say, which are realistic estimates I believe, then you are saving on average a further 0,3-0.4s per roll. With thin chequers a box next to the outer boards will save a lot more time than this.

I think this is wildly overestimated. There is no way I cock my dice every 10 rolls with a cup. I can recall many matches where I only cocked the dice 1 or 2 times for the whole match. Also, the notion that the baffle box 'eliminates' cocked dice is faulty. I watched the finals in Chicago and quite a few times the dice were cocked against the bar.
