The 2003-04 Case Book has changed a ruling from past years. Rule 5 Section 7 Art. 3 in 03-04 book reads as follows.
"Following a violation in the first extra period, the timer beckons the referee to the table. The timer informs the referee that by mistake the period started with less than four minutes on the clock. Ruling: The appropriate amount of time shall be added to reflect a four minutes period." In years past the ruling was "no correction is authorized". The new ruling does reflect the rule covering this: Rule 2, Section 5, Article 5--"correct obvious timing mistakes". Does seem odd to change it after all these years.
