Hey, so I am going to be participating in my first US chess tournament this August. As is customary, I have to bring my own board and clock. Usually wouldn't be an issue. However, I am stuck on the clock side of things. The time control for the tournament is something like 40 moves in 80 minutes, then the rest in 30 minutes, with a US delay of 30 seconds throughout. Does anyone have any suggestions on clocks that I could purchase that support this time control?

This should work just fine. y

Tho, If it's just 90/30 but if it is after move 40, extra 30 min, w/ delay

I think below would cover full tourney specturm

Yes but can you make the delay apply from move 1 in that scenario?

I have the second one and it's great.

It applies the whole game with the second clock
