That is possible, though clocking every match does this also.

Of course, and that is more effective, but my comment was specifically intended for those directors who do not wish to impose clocks on everyone. Using 2 clocks for an entire tournament as described is a much more surgical but proactive and still reasonably effective usage of clocks. And it cannot be construed as personal by anyone.

Be careful in thinking about "the" match that is holding up a tournament.

I was careful. My definition was "the last match to start in any given round". There is only one such match. My other definition was "the match with the fewest points completed". There can be more than one of these, and furthermore, those matches might be nearing completion, and thus I left it to TD's discretion whether introducing a clock is warranted.
