In Response To: Clock Experiment (Jason Lee)

We have to be concerned about over complicating the clock issue. The more complicated we propose to make things, the more confusion we will create among players and directors, and therefore the more reluctance we will get both from players and directors when it comes to accepting clocks.

In ABT matches we play 5's in the LC, and usually 11's in the main, and 9's, perhaps 7's in the conso. Reserve time of 2 minutes/pt is fine. It is a bit fast to play a 5 pt match with 10 min reserve time, but it is the LC and with so little at stake, lets not let those matches drag too long.

Playing a 3 pt match with only 6 min reserve time is fast, and playing 1 pter with only 2 min reserve is quite fast, however.
