Clock each pair for AVE +/- determination when clock runs out

[0 carbon]

One problem TDs have is pairs running out the clock & getting an AVE for what would be a bad board for them.

Then TDs are called to adjust - a major pain.

 

Why not clock each pair & if the clock runs out, award AVE- to the slower pair and AVE+ to the faster one.

 

This would encourage fast play & mean many less AVEs, better for TDs and players.

 

Players could still ask for a better adjust if AVE+ does not seem enough.

We'd need some way to make exceptions. For instance, if a player asks for an explanation of a bid, and doesn't make their bid until the opponent responds, the time would be counted against them, which isn't fair.
