So these refs looked at you and made eye contact after every whistle? Then wanted you to stop the clock? Must have made for a long game. Hmmm...
He explained it because he was worried about the timers reacting to all the other whistles in the gym due to the four courts side by side (seperated only by the drop down screens). He told me that in the earlier games the clock was stopped on whistles from other courts and it was taking too long to sort it out. He wanted me to watch the refs and said they would blow the whistle and immediatley look at the table, so I should watch for them. It seemed to work okay for that game.
