Setting a DGT2010 Clock

[ronniewallace]

I've quoted below the response from DGT about the particular issue I raised in the previous post.

I thought the use of a move counter with digital clocks was quite widely used in Scottish League Chess?

They seem to be saying that FIDE Regulations discourage the use of move counters.

DGT2010 Option 21: Manual Setting for Bonus Tournament

Dear Sir/Madam,

Using option 21 in combination with a move counter makes it more difficult to do a correction during the game with DGT2010 clocks with serial numbers starting with D0411, D0811, D2911, D3711, D0912 or D2012. Whilst this is regrettable, the available work around is a usable solution albeit a slightly elaborate one. The solution however is not much more complicated than it is to set the manual option in the first place.
It is noted that FIDE rules do not even regulate the use of a move counter and as such using the move counter tool is best avoided. FIDE Regulations, Article 6.2 and 6.3 of the Laws of Chess in particular, stipulate an arbiter should not base his decisions on a move counter, but on a flag fall, which does not even happen in most games if a move counter is used.
The use of option 21 in combination with a move counter is not particularly widespread. The need to make a time adjustment during the game in a pre-ultimate time period, when using this setting occurs quite seldom. As this option can only be used after a manual set, we have to assume the arbiter in question knows how to implement the manual setting itself. Consequently we also have to assume he will be able to implement the work around as well.
Whilst we regret that for a limited batch of DGT2010 clocks making a correction in option 21 (with move timer activated) is not as straightforward as it should be, the above considerations, in particular the existence of a workable solution does not warrant sufficient reason for us to replace any of the affected clocks at our expense.

With regards,

DGT BV
