In Response To: Time outs at Nordic Open (lenny)

OK, as I was whinging about 2/12, I'll chime in here: clocks are essential for the future of backgammon.

You want attendance? Then you want media attention. The best media friendly thing to watch are timed matches, where the is a palatable sense of urgency. This makes for a good show.

I enjoy watching non-timed matches, but the clocks really help if your goal is to put on a good show which is what it is all about with media.
