Only if they had definite knowledge.
Rule 5 - Scoring and Timing
SECTION 10 TIMING MISTAKES
ART. 1 . The referee may correct an obvious mistake by the timer to start or
stop the clock properly only when he/she has
definite information relative to the time involved. The exact time observed by the official may be placed on the clock.
ART. 2 . If the referee determines that the clock malfunctioned or was not
started/stopped properly, or if the clock did not run, an official’s count or other official information may be used to make a correction.
