Hey Gary, since this is your own creation, maybe we can go with it, with
some minor modifications :-). Also, I don't think Bruce created it. It
looks like the club did. It looks like he commented on it though.
So, maybe IAGO can use your method, if it would work well, for live
tournaments :-).
I do agree with Bruce's comments that there is often not enough time to
be meaningful. Perhaps you add 5 minutes back on the clock to what is
left, then 4, then 3, and so on. Maybe even players can bid, as I
suggested on time to pick sides. The idea of bidding for time adds more
gamesmanship outside of the actual game, which is used to captivate people
who don't play normally.
