And as I said, I'm not going through all that for .1.
Just have them set it to 3.0 and start the clock .8 before the ball is touched on the court.

Seriously, even if the console can't be set to 2.2, you can set it to 3.0 and run it down. Use both thumbs on the switch (one on each side) and turn it on-off as quickly as possible. That's .1 or less each time -- do it 8 times (or so) in your example and put the ball in play.

I've used the procedure several times and never had a problem.
