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.
