Yeah, both finals had davidsylvian in it who is quite a defensive player, so I'm sure there was no intention of "running down the clock" to prevent defeat, although I can't be sure.
I played him in the marathon final today and halfway through the match was thinking that we may run out of time...Luckily I managed to win 5-2, if it had went 5-4 there may have been another "winner not found". That is all.

well lets not just look at a chess clock system.
I think that the current system works fine, its was just a slow round.
So what if in normal tounrmanet games, if the game runs out of time, there is some sort of count back system. Count back the amount of games currently won, then number of balls sunk, amount of fouls and then the first person to sink a ball in the first game?
that would get games moving! A little hard to implement, but I think it would also make the games a little funner (if you see it the way I do)
and I think that in a final, games should go for an unlimited time. Its the final, the two best players, so why rush them? Let them play the way they want to play because there is no next round!

Whether or not people are guilty of stalling on purpose remains pure speculation, but in either case the chess clock would defeat that problem, as well as clear the name of fair-playing defensive players.

Agreed. The shot clock and game login timeout will both prevent those games from taking forever anyway.

Well, this is not to besmirch someone but rather a call for admin attention, and the members thoughts on the matter.
With nick's brilliant mind, coupled with admin's wit (like of janmb ), im sure they will find a way to keep the games FUNKY.
