Ryan, I'm going to time the length of 15 seconds for you by holding down my dash (-) key. Let's see how long 15 seconds really is...

That was 480 dashes. Holding it down for 15 seconds. This is not an especially fast computer (3 yr old HP laptop running Vista). Try it out for yourself. You'll be surprised at exactly how long 15 seconds truly is.
Another assumption that you're making is that all players are high level players. News flash: THEY ARE NOT. In fact, I'd venture to say that most players out there don't really understand what Slow Play truly is. That is at least one of the reasons Judges exist. To inform players of the rules and regulations and to enforce them as consistently as possible across the entire event.
Are we perfect at this goal? No. Show me a single game that requires non-automated Judging where the Judges themselves ARE perfect. That's called living in a dream world. Do we do the best that we can with the tools that we're given? I'd like to think that we, on the whole, do.
Once again, if there are any problems with the Judging staff or with one Judge in particular, email PCI using their [email protected] email address. I'm certain that every email is reviewed, and every issue is taken to heart as much as possible. Please, though, only report issues to which you have first hand knowledge. It makes the entire process that much more efficient.
