I saw that poor fellow on the top toss his dice so hard that they landed just about everywhere. He wasted more time on second rolls that any player I have ever seen. If he were a tennis player, and I were his coach, I would be telling him to take just a little bit off his first serve!

This is a nice idea for viewers, but for players, it upends one of the advantages of using clocks. When a player must leave his dice on the board, rather than pick them up, there is less chance for a dispute to arise over what the roll was.

And here is a link to the video wherein that rule was followed:
