Games that take too long!

I am certain that the rule book I have seen gives a time limit between the boule coming to rest and the next being thrown. I think it was 1 minute (I have not played competions for many years). If this rule is enforced then there is no need for games to go on for three hours!!!

In competition I always used to carry a stopwatch, so that when the opponents started to slow-up I made great play of starting the watch. If nothing else it worries them, they make mistakes, the game is over. Either way, no long drawn out matches
