clocks seem like an ideal way to quantify a problem (ie specific person) causing delays. clocks DO seem to give an edge to the players that are more experienced with them. i am a td for bridge and have to look at it from a fairness perspective. were i in such a capacity in bg, i'd be much more than willing to overlook the occasional flag by an inexperienced player, until such time that i realized they were permanently slow, or using it as gamesmanship. clocks (strictly enforced) will do nothing to grow the game. clocks are merely a tool. if given a tool the tds can make better judgements. clocks are black and white --- there are areas of gray.
