Time Out On Game Clock

[bob jenkins]

RefMag (and I know they are not always correct) has this as one of the "Test Yourself" (question 5, page 28) in the April issue.

According to them, only the game time is allowed to be displayed in all codes. NFHS 2-12-3; NCAAM 2-10.1, 2-20.8 (NCAAW we already know the correct answer).

I am away from all my books this week, so I can't check the references.

NFHS 2-12-3: The timer must: Be provided with a clock to be used for timing quarters, extra periods and intermissions, and a stopwatch for timing time-outs. The clock must be operated by the official timer. The clock and a stopwatch must be placed so that they may be seen by the timer.

So the timer can put the two one minute intermissions, and the one ten minute intermission, on the "clock", but must time the timeouts with the "stopwatch"?

Since it's a twentieth century rule and interpretation, hopefully the timer will remember to "wind" the stopwatch.
