Your 2008 motion (carried) said ‘That only games of at least 30 mins per player are graded as main list (exceptions being justified by describing the extenuating circumstances.)'
Didn't mention not grading games without clocks (or grading a hybrid system of no clocks then 5 minute blitz).
'Extenuating circumstances' could cover anything.
