I was at a smallish regional ACBl tournament.

Made the semi finals of the two day KO.
Starting day two I am about to play a slow pair. I noticed on day one their table was always late. 24 board match.

What should I do if anything before the start? I am asking not only what are my rights but to avoid unfriendliness..I had by far the least ACBL masterpoints

As it was nothing got done and we ended up at least 30 minutes behind the room each half. Over One hour in total..prepaid lunch was lost..
Director did nothing..

It was a miserable bridge experience..that I paid over a grand in expenses to experience
We lost by 3 which didn't help .

Edit

I will take my share of responsibilities as Patience has never been my strong suit

I don't always handle this well. Chronic slow play tends to derail my game too, so I sympathize with the frustration.

That said, 30 minutes is excessive, assuming the other team(s) wasn't playing speedball. I would have spoken to the Director before the match about it — the Director should have been on top of this already, and it shouldn't be causing problems for the other players at the table.

Curious to hear what that tall Director will have to say about it.

edit: It's not unfriendly to expect players to play within the clock in a timed event.
WTH does Masterpoints have to do with maintaining a reasonable tempo?
