why have these new time controls ?
in most offices you legally must have half-hour breaks - but chess is intense concentration
No break? Wouldn't do that. Would delay the start of affected matches as we did in Perth last year (first time we have done that)
Don't know how much attention you have been paying to the laws of chess but non incremental games are pretty much being phased out. Was proposed at the SNCL agm and approved. Modernisation and all that/
Last time I checked we were not an office...
Hamilton are yet to enter so unless you are playing for someone else, could be a moot point!
