No, I don't expect the timer to read an official's mind. I do expect an official to look at the clock however and note the time on it when he GRANTS the TO. That's definite information and it's the time that he can put back up on the clock, by rule(5-10).
Lah me, indeed......  |
And how exactly does an official grant a time-out?
Are you advocating that he just thinks it, and that no action is required?
