In Response To: Time to talk about time settings (Chuck Bower)

I think the current time settings are fine. I only know of 1 or 2 matches having been lost in ABT tournaments due to time expiration. One of these was because the guy is inteminably slow (no physical problems) and one of these can be directly related to dexterity problems.

I do like Patrick Gibson's suggestion that for the older and/or physically challenged players we should simply continue to use two sets of dice even with a clock. Thus, these players are prepared to immediately begin their next roll when their opponent hits the clock. I think this would address Larry Leibster's problems, and others. And everyone is still playing with the same time settings.
