How I wish I had more time to rant in general

The "harrassment" consists of reminding people that our venue (Jason's Deli, a restaurant chain) closes at 10 PM and that round 1 must be completed by 7:30; round 2, by 8:30. There are just three of our players who occasionally go over those times, so I reiterate my admonitions if they're still playing close to the deadlines. Occasionally I get a little back talk, but no car keying yet.

I'm the only one in our club who owns a clock, so imposing clocks for all matches is not an option yet. I'm trying to nudge people into clock use by pointing out that they should be acclimated to clock use if they intend to play ABT events.

I like the Meyer Dice Tube. It definitely speeds up play, so I've required that it be used if one player in a match has one.

I'm welcome to suggestions. Read our club's web's site to see our current rules (under tournament details): http://home.roadrunner.com/~kenlarsen/backgammonclub.htm
