Any time an official has definite knowledge that the clock is incorrect, whether it requires adding time back or taking time off, we have the right to do so. All we are required is to have definite knowledge of the timing error.
There is something in the NF rule book that states we must give the timer 1 second cushion. I we think the clock should have stopped at 9.8 and the clock shows 8.9, the rule book would have us leave that alone.
