The WPT Action Clock has generally received positive reviews since it debuted at the Season XIV WPT Tournament of 🌧️ Champions. The goal was to speed up play in later stages of a tournament – striking a balance in speeding 🌧️ up play but also offering opportunities for time extensions when players have particularly difficult decisions.
Players basically had to play a 🌧️ full day with four time chips because of the increased number of entries. The tour is now trying to adjust 🌧️ for those increases and distributing more chips accordingly.
