I'd say yes except for the fact that we know some people will take advantage
of the "nod to indicate you're ready" phase to slow things down and screw up
their opponents timing. I know there was one competitor in the Bonus
challenge that attempted to psych out his opponent by staging and unstaging
many times (happily it was not effective and that guy lost :-) The shot
clock keeps the playing field level. I think at Harrisburg almost everyone
was on their best behavior to speed staging up for the good of all. I don't
know if that would always be the case.
