Let's say it's late at night just before we are going to change from DST to Standard time. The game is in multiple overtimes (which should tip you off that it wouldn't be my game). A1 is dribbling in his backcourt following a basket by team B. While he is dribbling, the time change occurs and it is now one hour earlier. How much time will you give him to get the ball across the division line?
BTW - I can't wait to hear Old School's interp on this.

I would make sure I had definite knowledge of how much time was on the clock at the moment of the time change and then wait until natuarl stoppage of play to correct the game clock. This one time the Timer did not make mistake.
