Timer misconfiguration dispute
Sort:
[COMMENT DELETED]
Geez, I dont know...
I wouldn't think incorrect timer falls under wrong configuration, though.
I find it hard to believe that in a 3 hour + increment game nobody noticed the clock was wrong? I think it's the responsibility of the player to check that.
Also, couldnt the arbiter just add time to the clock for every move made, and let the game continue?

If during a game it is found that the setting of either or both clocks was incorrect, either player or the arbiter shall stop the clocks immediately. The arbiter shall install the correct setting and adjust the times and move counter. He shall use his best judgement when determining the correct settings Claims of rule violations must be made before the game ends. In this case, the error in the clock was not noticed until the flag fell. At that point,the game had ended.
