Having said that, no system is perfect.

True, but again, a judge would be standing right over top of your table. So most would be less likely to try it.

I agree it could be done. But it would definately be harder to do.

I've never had a judge standing right over the top of my table. Having run tournaments, we're using pretty damn busy.

If I was a TO running a major event I would let players buy extra time.

Good idea. In fact i would require it. further, your score would be depending on the amount of tangible gratitutde you provided.

I love the smell of capitalism in the morning.

I'd fall into the "inexperienced" slow player. I'm still getting used to 5th edition (having not played since 3rd) and usually can only go quickly by taking my opponent's word for it on rules.

I recently found out that my opponent was wrong on several points for my army, so I'm trying to double check things myself (and read up beforehand) but it's hard to think of all the possible situations while not playing.

I'm in a tournament this Saturday, so I'll let you know how it goes . Hopefully I won't be "that guy"... even if it is unintentional!

I'd also just like to say that I Really appreciate a more experienced player who takes the time to help me speed up my play... again since it is unintentional and just due to a lack of experience under the current rules.

Also I can't think of any other game where someone is penalized for being wrong in a rules dispute.

It would be very hard to slow play. Because in order to, you would need to have a judge at your table, who could easily keep the stupid questions from becoming issues.

Ever heard of College football or NFL? They lose timeouts all the time.

No basically you take a timeout in order to challenge. So you just burn a timeout to challenge and then you do get the time for your timeout during the challenge.

Its not like they get a 15 yard penalty if they lose the challenge.
They are still getting their timeout, just possibly at a time when they didn't want it. (so a slight loss but nothing major.
