2-3 min x 2 = 5-6 min.
Ok, 10 min is a stretch...but 5 min...Easy. Multiply this by the FR / JV double header ahead of the varsity game and you save at least 10 min.
Of course, the only folks that care about this are usually just the varsity refs!

You forgot to account for the extra real time that is used as the intensity for the last 30 seconds of the 1st and 3rd quarters goes way up, especially in a close game. Vie-ing (wow, spelling!?!?!) for that last basket can really stretch out the last 30 seconds or so. At least, in JV girls it can.
