Clocks and Penalties - Yes - clock late arrivals, ONLY

In Response To: Clocks and Penalties - Yes - clock late arrivals, ONLY (neilkaz)

Seriously, it is news to me if excessive breaks are an issue delaying ABT events.

Part of my concern is if we add 10 minutes to players' clocks for the typical 11 pt match, they will spend the usual combined total that I think is slightly less than 10 minutes on breaks and end up with at least 5 extra minutes each on their clock, sometimes resulting in a slower match.

I agree with everything in this post.

I'd estimate the odds are 100/1 against that directors start adding time to Bronstein clocked matched to allow for breaks. Penalty points are still a far more logical penalty for matches not STARTED on time, clocks or not, IMHO.
