I have to say good luck with that.

At some point, you should fix it. At some point, you should count it out. What point that should be is certainly open for debate.

I meant 4.6. After the first stoppage I would inform both teams to play to the whistle. I'm not going to risk 3 stoppages of play to remove 1 second at a time. 3.6 seconds is a lot of time, but then again it isn't and to stop and remove more time after we just addressed this is not fair to the team with the ball (assuming they are on offense and are behind).

Also agree with Cameron, what I just said is up to a point. With 10 seconds left, I might be able to stop it and get things right, depends on the situation. |

I agree, but by this point in the game that's to late.

OP said they talked to the table numerous times. Sounds like the clock wasn't started on time most plays. I just don't think you should get this far with the same person operating the clock.
If for whatever reason you are stuck with that clock, then yes going off the whistle is fine if both teams know what's going on. My original response was to just winging it and blowing your whistle, saying the game is over, and having the offense player screaming he has two more seconds to make a move. |

I just made it up as an example. I didn't recall any specific times being mentioned outside of the original play...I didn't reread the entire thread. I only intended to show that with a "lot" of time left it should be fixed and with very little time left it should be counted out. Where it should change from one to the other is an interesting point. At 4.6 -> 3.6, I'd agree with fixing it. If it started at 2.0, probably not....just count it out since by the time you know it didn't start, it should have been at 1.5 or lower.

Precisely my point. But what about 3? or 4? or 5? At what point does the situation change?
