2-stage baffle box?

In Response To: 2-stage baffle box? (Tom Keith)

There is a trade-off between proper baffling and speed of play. A properly baffled baffle-box that did not slow play would be a fantastic piece of equipment. The problem I have seen with properly baffled baffle-boxes is the dice getting stuck too often. I think using cups through most current baffle-boxes alleviates the conflict of fast play and proper baffling. If you shake your dice once and deliver them through any type of currently available baffle-box you can play with confidence that the dice are random and at a pace that is faster than cups alone, since there is less shaking required and fewer cocked dice. As I stated earlier, it is much better for live broadcasting, since the camera only needs to be set to read dice on one side of the board.
