Clocks

I keep reading about how everyone wants to encourage the use of clocks. I am in agreement. However, I do see one small flaw..

11pt match, 12 secs per move, 20 moves per player per game (potentially 21 games), 2 mins per game, that works out at a maximum of 3.5 hours. This is not unfeasible I suppose, but it feels like its a long time for an 11pt match. If a director forces clocks on everyone, then really the most you can play is 3 matches per day - and thats a lot of time.

For the Madison tournament, we had 9 rounds over 2 days of the main event (and that was for those of us that just missed the playoffs). Clocking those would have been 138 mins per match, say 20 mins between matches, and that comes out at roughly 24 hours of playing time - strictly for 2 days of play.

Yes, it is feasible, but is it practicable?
