Why don't they use the Box Timer

As far as the concern of using PT for the first time in a tournament game, that is not a factor. Precision time can be used to only stop the clock on a whistle. The clock can then be re-started by the table. It has been used this way during the past two years at the Kentucky High School Athletic Association state tournaments with absolutely no problems. The officials do not have to worry about 'being used to' the system. They are just fitted with the microphones and then they work the game just like they usually do.
