Well, then we agree, as I wrote on Sunday, 23 September 2012, at 9:43 p.m. :

For some reason, the pioneers within rule writing for clocked backgammon, never really understood this difference between "Bronstein" and "Delay", thus many rules today mix the terms up...

I currently use a ... clock that implements Bronstein correct. But to make things "the same" as all the "delay clocks" used out there (and the way that many bg rulebooks describe clock usage), I set it up so that my match time is the match time PLUS one delay, eg. 34:12 for a 17 pointer.

:-)
