George - Andy's reply suggests that increments are not feasible. It surprises me a little that any club/team entering the Richardson would not not have digital clocks. Perhaps this is one for the future.
Re eligibility rules (do you mean the bona fide rules?), we have had some issues around these this season so regardless of any changes to format the bf rules must change. The need for any team member to be a paid member is unsustainable - how can it be proved one way or the other? So this is another topic that needs serious discussion. Just to save anyone looking out the rules here is the relevant section:
4. To be bona fide a player should have:-
a) Paid the required membership fee for the current season* and
b) Satisfied at least one of the following:
Represented the club in other competitive events during the current or preceding season;
Participated in the club’s graded internal tournaments in the current or preceding season;
Has not represented another Scottish club in the Richardson Cup in the previous three seasons and lives, works or studies within 30 miles of the proposing club’s normal meeting place. In remote areas this distance will be extended to include the nearest appropriate club.
As before, all contributions welcome. Particularly from anyone who will/might play in the Richardson.
