Note that it doesn't say "exact time", it says "exact time observed by the official". Not the same thing.

So you think that if you blow the whistle comes clearly before the horn, we are not know with certainly what time should have been on the clock at the very time of the whistle? You do that. Good luck with that logic. But the National Federation said it, so we must throw out all other logic and leave the clock where it is. Gotcha. Sorry, not doing that. We work 3 Person here too for all varsity games for the most part.
