I also use the ready-ref timer. It is really a great tool. It costs about 50 bucks and is well worth the money spent. Before I bought the ready-ref, I used the 25 second clock on my watch. It beeped when the time was out. But I realized very quickly that if there is alot of crowd noise I would NOT hear it. So, I had to look at my watch. Well, this was a problem, because I wanna be looking at the action and NOT a watch. The ready-ref takes all the guess work out of it. I personally do not use the 5 second warning. I'm afraid that I might mistake the warning for the actual 25 second mark. Still, even using the ready-ref, I hate calling the D.O.G. If its close, I let it go. Now, if the QB is calling an audible at the line and the time is up, then I flag it. A good flow to the game is essential.
But as the Referee, I already feel enough pressure to get things right everytime. So the ready-ref has made my job so much easier. I highly reccoment this peice of equipment.
P.S.
Sorry I've been gone for so long. Been very busy at work. But I am already starting to get excited about football and its MONTHS away. Hello to everybody.
