How about if a player in a tournament needed more time for a good reason, a request could be made to all running players in that tournament, and can only be given more time by a unanimous decision. If the player making the request didn't have a good reason, or was otherwise being the 'slow' player, they would not stand a chance of getting a break. This option is most likely a bit much as far as the programing goes... but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Hey? Nice tee-shirts! But I'm a bit troubled... What I want to know is... Where are the BK COFFEE MUGS???? I'm thinking there are a great number of us that could use one of those, early mornings, or very late at night! (or somewhere in the middle) I know I can't be the only one here that's a great friend of coffee! Whatcha say?

One thing I've noticed... People come and go around here... And sometimes they go while still belonging to Stairs. Folks gone for months at a time, maybe never coming back... Challenge them to a stairs match, and you are guarenteed a win. They can't deny the game, it starts automatically... Just wait till it times out, and you got a win. Shouldn't there be some automatic time out to boot you off stairs for that reason? ...just a thought.
