Better question...At what point during the overtime period did the officials pull their...err, wake up from their nap?

As the R, before I even consider starting the extra period I am checking the clock, counting the players and checking with my partners (I have already verified the book). As the U (or one of them) I am not giving the R a thumbs up to proceed until I know we are ready.
