If you disagree with them please provide your sources.
The Wikipedia page is incomplete, as it does not mention non-addback
delay...
Yes it does! It calls it `Bronstein delay', like the rest of the
world, the USCF included.
... used almost exclusively in U.S. tournaments. (Probably written
by a Euro.)
Regardless of my nationality or that of the author, I see no reason to
credit Bronstein's system to the USCF.
Dave.
Especially because the standard USCF delay is not Bronstein.
It's *equivalent* to Bronstein - but it's not the same thing, at all.
