Whether the clock starts or stops on time is irrelevent to me from this point forward.

Game management: Is there a section in the book with this title. If not, there should be. I would have it in my rulebook.
Let me try again. Do you have a rulebook or casebook reference other than what you think should be in the rulebook? The reason you need a reference, is because the situation you are talking about is completely different. You can only take 5 seconds off the clock in that situation because there is something you are using as a specific procedure. And you still have no reference. Imagine that.

Peace
