In Response To: MAKE THE DAMN CLOCK RULE CUT AND DRY (Mick Z)

Just like the PGA tour golfers....there should be no "call ins" that can change the course of a tournament. The best players are at a disadvantage in being streamed constantly if any interference from anyone including the director is allowed to happen. That is even though Rory's action made perfect sense in this particular instance. (It took the official golf rules a good decade or more to resolve the TV "call in" issue).

A number of players seem to be very accommodating to their opponents in reseting the clock on every cocked dice and Victor even paused the clock to let Roberto fiddle with his phone in mid game. I think it is standard to pause the clock when a die falls to the floor but each cocked die seems overly generous to me.
