You are playing a swiss match with 4 bds and 15 minutes left to play. You feel the match is very close or you are down a small amount. You assume you are the better team. What are your options and what should you do? Will calling the director just slow down the game more and make you lose the last board?

Just play. Worrying about time is only going to distract you from what you should be concentrating on. Try to put all of your focus into the current hand. If the director comes over and is concerned about time, he will usually just say "hurry along please" and if it gets really bad, he will take away some boards. However, it will do you no good to simply add bad results to the mix, so forget about it.
