One problem with tourneys is slow players. TDs need a way to establish which players are slow, so they can be messaged or sanctioned. Slow players either make other players wait(unclocked tourneys) or result in AVE(clocked) boards which are unfair and sometimes necessitate TD assessment and adjustment.
One way would be to have a timer for each player for the tourney showing the average time taken per board, perhaps showing in the player's profile., either for the current tourney, and perhaps for all tourneys.
Another would be to have a timer for each player in their name bar at the table which counts the time each player has taken in the current hand.
This would have the advantage of showing players how slow they are compared to others, and if players call the TD for slowness, the TD can see.
If the totals were kept with the player's name for each hand in the hand display for each Result, this could be reviewed by TDs later if requested.
I suggest the format mm:ss, max 99:59, tho 99 seems unlikely....
I understand this would lengthen the name bar, but there is room! In fact, it should be lengthened, because the red point circle sometimes obscures long names.
While most useful in tournaments, this could also be shown in all matches, to give feedback to all players on how fast or slow they are.
It could even be used to give AVE+ or AVE- to the slowest pair in a timed-out board.
