COMMENT: Timing mistakes which may be corrected are limited to those which result from the timer's neglect to stop or start the clock as specified by the rules. The rules do not permit the referee to correct situations resulting in normal reaction time of the timer which results in a “lag” in stopping the clock. By interpretation, “lag or reaction” time is limited to one second when the official's signal is heard and/or seen clearly. One second or the “reaction” time is interpreted to have elapsed from the time the signal was made until the official glanced at the clock. The additional three seconds which subsequently ran off the clock is considered a timing mistake.

If you have definite knowledge of the time at the whistle one second is allowed, i.e. the official is looking at the clock.

If the official looks AFTER the whistle that look is considered the lag time, and time is corrected to definite knowledge. In your play .7.

NUF SAID!!!!!! Lets close this thread.
