It seems straightforwards that the event should proceed with 5 and 0 as that was as advertised and what folk will expect on the day.
Personally I prefer to play with increments though would suggest to Alan and Craig that 4 and 2 is by far better than 3 and 2. Actually 3 and 2 will give most folk less time for most of their games I think....I do not think this is what anyone wants?
I think most club players play 5 and 0 when using clock's and that this will be a more familiar time control for them ...it's possible that 3 and 2 could prove unpopular on the day...it may be a majority of players like me and Craig and Alan would want increments but I would be surprised if most would want 3 and 2!
Of course I do not know everyone's preferences and possibly the noticeboard is not the best test of opinion.
Whatever the time control on the day I think some certainty is called for...maybe Ken could have a think about this and make another posting?
