That was what I got from it, anyway.
Thanks Skahtboi,
I understand now. The ten seconds is set, but the time leading up to that warning is quite variable.
I have never gotten close enough to that situation to even consider going to the 10 second limit.
Sometimes, after a batter seems to be taking an awful long time getting a sign, I'll say, "Let's go, batter." I've never said, "You have 10 seconds."
