The Primary Individual this year used 5 second increments - additional to 25 minutes on clock at start of the game. This modification worked very well ....... won games tended to stay won and the last games to finish were more entertaining than traditional time scrambles which end in flag fall. Setting increment to only 5 seconds per move resulted in no more than minor disruption to the tournament schedule.
