In Response To: Clock Experiment (Dale Kerr)

Regarding integer based. First of all, note that with a 1.5x+5.5 formula, all odd length matches would result in an integer number of minutes for each player.

Would (3x+11)/2 make it more palatable?

Anyway, I don't propose this at the moment. Only if further study shows that there is a distinct non-linear nature to match length with 2x being way to generous for really long matches while being frequently too tight with short matches.
