To me, it tells me we're getting close, but I generally know that anyway.

Snaq, you are forgetting one minor detail in that majority of the time I am timer in Sub-V games where the personnel doing the scorebook really don't have much of a clue about what their duties/responsibilities are. I am in continual communication with the official scorer about the running score & foul counts. However, they do not seem to realize that they need to signal when in bonus/double bonus.
I have been doing what I can to train them properly, however I have no say (and apparently the coaches don't care), & there seems to be always some issues each game.
