Thats the way everbody around here does it, and the way the UIC instructed it to be done at the Pony nationals.

By the way, in the Raleigh/Cary parks they had a count down timer on all the scoreboards. The score keepers started the clock at the break up of the pregame.

With Roger on this one. The last words spoken at the end of the pre-game meeting with the managers/coaches are, "Gentlemen/Ladies, you are on the clock."

If they still want to fool around with all the BS that goes on, THEY are taking playing time away from their team, not me.
