Ultimately, the reasons for calling the clock – i.e. the shift change – is the ridiculous part of this incident.
As for the tourney rules applying to nearby cash games: is that common? For all I know, this is how it works at my local cardrooms and I've just never noticed it.
I guess when I stop and think about it, it makes sense for the Rio and the WSOP. This is a time of year with an inordinate number of recreational and even relative rookie players. So no reason to make them learn two sets of rules. Still kinda blows, though, as there are situations that shouldn't apply for a cash game.
