'02-'03 Case Book pg.41 Rule 5.10.1 B
A1 travels immediately after the official sounds the whistle and signals the clock to stop, s/he glances at the clock and notices there are three seconds remaining in the quarter. However, the timer does not stop the clock and time expires. Ruling. The referee will direct that three seconds be put back on the clock since s/he had definite knowledge of the amount of time involved.
To take time off the clock, see 5.10.1 C
There is no provision for the correction (of time) of an error made in the officials accuracy in counting seconds.
