Without looking at Jon's response - since I'm having trouble getting into Arbiter - I'm sure he referenced NCAAW 1-19-2 and 1-19-3. Two visible clocks are required and you have to have an alternate timing device if one of them malfunctions. Shutting off the one that works isn't an option, at least at the college level.
