UBK: Is that currently the ABT tourneys rule or jsut a Novi rule?

The USBGF lists it as an optional rule.

Overtime

Rule: A player automatically loses the match when it is noticed that their reserve time has expired.

Option 1: “Overtime: A player receives 1 minute after an initial clock expiration”.

Option 2: “Overtime: A player receives 2 minutes after an initial clock expiration”.

Tournament Directors are encouraged to experiment with this variation, perhaps in combination with any considered strengthening of clock policy. As a means of protecting against unnoticed clock expirations, particularly for players who are inexperienced with clock play, a player does not lose the match upon an initial clock expiration. Instead, the Tournament Director must be called, and the affected player’s clock shall be reset to reflect the specified overtime reserve of 1 or 2 minutes. A second expiration for that player will lose the match, and the Tournament Director should warn the player accordingly. The total of reserve time plus overtime must not exceed the maximum reserve time allowed for the event type (see Parameter Options - Clock Settings below).
