All major international events these days use them, so the question is whether we should endeavour to adopt incremental controls - if feasible, though I was going to make Clement's point if he hadn't already got there; 100-move games are rare - at some domestic events to adequately prepare our adult and junior internationalists. I think we should at least consider it.
I can't really agree, the number of players in Scotland who play regulary in international events is pretty small, not enough to justify changing the time controls in domestic events.
