The clock is only a "normal" football clock in the last 2 minutes of each half. They pretty much adopted the NFL clock to keep the games around 3 hours. I think that it has something to do with this fad they call TV.
The only time that the clock starts on the snap outside of the last 2 minutes of the HALF is a Change of Possession, incomplete pass or a time out. If a player runs out of bounds prior to the last 2 minutes of the half, the clock starts on the ready.
