Please be careful if clocking breaks

Yesterday I was very opposed to this idea and felt that it was unnecessary and especially for ABT events. Now I am softening a bit and just opposed to it.

There's lots of issues if doing this such as...

1) The need to define how much break time. 11 pts of breaks per person is rather a lot in an 11 pt match. Now I don't smoke however, but still.

2) OK we can define break time to add, but there will often be the question of who's time to run during the break when both players agree on the break.

3) Lets say that I take a break to P and I come back in 2 minutes and my opp is not there, do I then push my clock button starting his and stopping mine?

4) I can think of all sorts of other conflicts not to mention pissing (or non pissing contests) between players over breaks.

5) I doubt that clocking breaks will speed up ABT events compared to players respecting the rules and norms and not taking too long for breaks and with staff paying attention to slow matches that are threatening to delay the event.

However..in Monte Carlo...LOL that place is break city. I've seen players take a break and head to the elevator with their GF and go to their hotel room etc etc.
