Comments

Currently KO & Plate delays impact the other tournaments which finish late or are not completed.
I therefore propose that all KO & Plate games should be compulsory Quickplay Finish.
All games would have a result on the night and draws could be dealt with quickly
applying exactly the same rules as at present, i.e.second game reversed colours then fast replays.
Fair results would be obtained without the intervention of the pernicious Fritz!
