[tournament-org] Overtime

[Geoff Kaniuk]

Yes I thought it might be MK, but could not be sure.

The 'Andrew Simons' problem is not a problem, as he is using the maximum 
amount of time alloted for the period.

On the contrary, I think we all probably use the time inefficiently, 
consuming the 20 stones well before the time is up.  But of course this 
may just be me.

If the tournament is subject to time constraints, then accelerated 
overtime should be used.
