In Response To: BARRED FROM FLORIDA (Chuck Bower)

Chuck wrote: I think 2 min/matchpoint, 15 sec/move would be a very good compromise setting, particularly until we've all (including the players who don't post here :) have had a chance to get accustomed to clocks. After that we all can regroup and decide if different settings would be appropriate.

Neil agrees and proposes a change to this for next year from the current 2+12 and noting that he really hopes to see events becoming such that either player can insist upon using a clock provided one is available. This will get players bringing their own clocks like we do in chess !
