2) Can you point out to me where I can find the timing MISTAKE in that sequence? You can adjust the time for a timing MISTAKE using definite knowledge. That's rule 5-10. You can't adjust the clock per the oft-cited rule above if the timer simply stops the clock normally per rule 5-8-1(a). There's 2 different rules covering 2 different situations. You're trying to apply a rule that isn't applicable. |
OK..lets try it this way. Does it say anywhere that I can't add time if the official concludes that there was a mistake?
If it doesn't then the "R" in this play is rule supported if he concluded the timer made a mistake by not stopping the time fast enough. Since there is nothing in the book that says the timer has so much time to stop the clock, such as lag time, then its simply left up to the official to decide if it was a timing error or not.
You & I on this play conclude that its not a timing error. The "R" on this play did therefore the rules support him/her adding time.
