Wow, where do you find this stuff? It really is an interesting read and seems to settle everything. Although this bit:

Why? Can you think of a simpler, more elegant system of monitoring overtime when you have no digital clocks available?

Get some digital clocks is simpler.

Just one minor correction: the german internet bundesliga uses 60 & 15/5, not 20/5.

The year is 1980. Good luck getting a digital clock

I don't like time systems that make me spend what little time I have doing division in my head...

[Harleqin]

Well, one thing I never understood is that unused time is discarded. It just makes the players unnecessarily prolong the game.

[DeadTired]

I would be interested...

(This thread finally made me register for Life in 19x19 --- I used to post on GD as Dima, but didn't have the time lately.)

[Phelan]

Count me in. And welcome, Dima!

[Actorios]

You can count me in, Graham... The only issue I foresee are the time difference but let's give it a try.

[karaklis]

I feel sure the BGA will be delighted if you want to pay to replace the 30 mechanical clocks I'm currently storing (don't step anywhere in my room! One floorboard moves, half the damned clocks start ticking again ..!), plus the same number a couple of times over that other people are storing, with digital clocks ...!

But I'm still not sure it qualifies as "simpler".

[Magicwand]

count me in.

[Violence]

Sounds fun. Count me in.
