"If it (the clock) ain't broke, don't fix it"

In Response To: Clock Rules - Tournament schedules, proposal (svilo)

It appears as though this thread was initiated with the intent of addressing a recent (and ongoing) problem of matches not starting on schedule. But thrown into the mix was the "solution" of removing free/delay time from clock settings and reverting (effectively) to the analog clock rules of old.

So, the implication is that the current practice of using digital clocks with a combination of free/delay time and reserve/bonus time is causing problems in tournament scheduling.

It is?? I'd like to hear some real life experiences (accurate details as best as you can recall) of events where digital settings were used and where that alone (and not combined with tardiness) led to scheduling issues. Anyone?
