The gym my game was in Friday night had two boards opposite ends, no big deal.

We hit one minute pregame and the board on the home side only shows tenths, I mean it goes 1:00 to 9.9 down to 0.0, back to 9.9 to 0.0 for the entire minute!

I've dealt with one board, boards without tenths, but this was a first. I immediately went to the visitor's coach and informed him of the clock situation he will face in the first half.

Made for a quick conference for me and my partner too for last second shots.

Anyone else ever run into this?

Yes have seen stuff like this before. It used to be more prevalent when you had tings like a master and a slave for the clocks...

All you need to do is designate the official clock. (rules state you just have to have one)

Sounds like the one panel was burnt out. About all you can do is tell the coach and play on. And tell the thome team admins so they can fix it.
