On a related point, I have a question, talking with one of the participating juniors I heard how he had stopped clock and had a time increment added during his final minute. I confess I had no idea you can do this and would be grateful if an arbiter could clarify how this works. Thanks
There shouldn't have been any time increments in the tournament and i can't say i noticed any on the clocks as i was watching, but then i was more concerned with taking pics than i was paying attention to the games. I think i know who it is you refer to George, i was talking with his father in a group, increments were mentioned at the same time as someone else spoke, so i didn't get the gist of what it was he was saying...
Did he tell you it was in just one game or was it throughout the event?
