I always start the clock when I am in the golf cart being
ferried to the field of assignment.....[grin] Just kidding
nautrally.
In AFA it is always stated on the tournament handout
sheets each umpire and team coach receives. Clock starts
when pre-game conference ends. As for stopping clock, only
on serious injury and protest. All protest in AFA must be
decided prior to either team leaving the field. Also covered
in tournament rules/regulations. Not many protest, as we
view everything as a judgement call.......kidding....
