What I'd really like to know is your feel for how long you have been taking from the point the ball is spotted before the RFP?

My umpire usually spots the ball within 5 seconds if in the middle and about 8-10 from the side zone.

We've been using 3 to 4 seconds all year any have had little problems. That point is covered in our meeting with the head coach so they know.. we're not waiting around for them. it will be consistent all game long. Ball spotted. tick tick tick then the RFP.

I let the coaches know before the game. Some other officials don't move the game that fast so early on I remind them especially being a DOG slows the game down.
