In Response To: Elderly players and time clocks (Timothy Chow)

Being elderly generally means there's a physical challenge. Rather than require the TD to determine the presence and extent of physical challenge, a rule giving players of a certain age (e.g., 80+) a few extra seconds would seem to make sense. Other exceptions for those <80 could be granted before the match begins.

Yes, maybe a few spry octogenarians would get an unfair advantage -- but I can live with that.
