". In a mandatory clock event, I think it unfair if some matches are played with time saving devices while other matches are not. Should players with time saving devices not have the same burden of time management as players without time saving devices? I think so."

In that actual match it is fair between those two players so you apparently an advantage is gained in the other matches to be played. Where does that advantage come from and how significant do you think it is? Note that if the dice get rolled quickly then the player will be spending a greater percentage of the delay time actually thinking about how to play the roll instead of taking time to roll. Couldn't that actually make the match a little more mentally grueling?
