In Response To: Homeless man camps out at NY Metro Open (Rich Munitz)

Richard.."My point was that doubles is by far the event most likely to go beyond reasonable in slowness of play, and when it does, it drags the most players along for the ride. If you have to pick exactly one event to clock and are allowed to clock no others, this is the one. (IMHO)"

Neil replies...I've been doing this BG tourney thing for over 30 years, and agree completely about doubles. Sometimes doubles matches start slowly since it can take 5 or 10 extra minutes to round up all 4 players, and this simply adds to the painful delays later.
