I too would dump the 25 second clock if the operator couldn't run it correctly. I might give 3 chances, but wouldn't fault a whitehat who dumped it after 2. If you let this go long enough that you had time to notice trends ("it seemed to happen more often for the home team"), you let it go WAY WAY WAY too long.
