2/12 is too fast for OTB

Given that the purpose of clocking matches is to prevent an abnormally long match from disrupting the schedule...

Online I'm comfortable with 2/15, and I rarely use much reserve time. From my chess days I was usually the faster player, about 75% of the time. Online BG I'm also usually the faster player. Online 2/12 would be OK.

BUT with the mechanics of shaking and rolling the dice, I can't see playing 2/12 OTB. Given that the purpose of clocking matches is to prevent an abnormally long match from disrupting the schedule, IMHO 2/15 -- adding 3 seconds to shake and roll -- is much more reasonable. Or, if you'd like, 1.5/15.
