At the risk of incurring wrath:
1. Why start the clock at any time other than on the first pitch? the only exception I can see that is fair to the teams is to add one minute and start it at the end of the plate conference. The home team has been determined by this time.
2. What in the !$#@ gives us the RIGHT to "interpret" anything concerning time, time limits or time remaining? It is not our game, our field or our anything. These teams pay beau coups bucks (including your pay) to play in these tournaments. If they have, say, a 1:20 time limit, interpreting that to mean 1:18 or anything else less than 1:20 is no less of a sin than, say, a supermarket checker or bank teller tapping the till. If you feel that you need to "interpret" 1:20 as something less, you're stealing from the players and stealing from the game. That is not my opinion; that is fact.
