Down here in NC for USSSA, all games are under 2 hour time limit (no inning after 2:00).
At the plate conference, I show them both me starting the stop watch, and tell them that is the official one.
Of course, they both look at their watches and think THAT is the official one.
So, when it comes down to seconds either way, at the end of an inning, I will pull it out and STOP it, whether it is over or under, and so when they start *****ing that their watch says one thing, I have my stop watch in hand with the time that that inning ended in order to prove to them (and squash any following protest), either the game is over or there was time left on the clock.
