I think the normal means claim is the 2 minute rule and has to be made before flagfall when it becomes mating material...thats how I undersand it....the issue the other night was draw offers declined by my opponent and play to flagfall without any claim by either player. Its unfortunate but this kind of thing happens when in time trouble.
Otherwise claims under the 2 minute rule seem to be quite common in the Glasgow League....the game is then stopped and position recorded....sometimes players will take some time to consider whether to agree the draw or not. I do not know whether most games then end in a draw but I would guess not.
