Methinks that you need to borrow an NCAA rule book from somebody and do a little reading..

See NCAA rule 5-11-1--"When a timing mistake has occurred because of the failure to start or stop the clock properly, the mistake shall be corrected ONLY when the referee has DEFINITE INFORMATION relative to the time involved."

Rule 5-11-4 also says "definite information relative to the mistake...".

The FED and NCAA rules are basically the same except for the monitor being allowed to gain definite information under NCAA rules.
