nothing is more tilting than slow players in a speedball.

i suggest killing them with fire, witch trial style. i suspect im in the minority.

If you're playing Fast Pairs, I think you're justified in reminding the opps that they need to play faster.

I've never seen an offline speedball other than at NABCs, and the TDs there are usually pretty good about moving people along.

I used to try and communicate with them in plain and kind words but when that didn't work out I turned to the methods endorsed by jjbrr.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.
