Maybe because that particular clock is really difficult to deal with? I know we've got quite a few in this area that are just weird, and the clock person isn't experienced, and it's too disruptive to try to reset it just for a few seconds.

In my case, we tried, but it took longer than a "few seconds". The guy couldn't seem to get it right. I opted to get the game moving.

If that is the case, a phone call to the A/D or letter to the state office detailing the problem. We either need to get a better clock operator (A/D can fix that) or the clock needs maintenance. One or the other, but if it's interfering with your game. You need to follow up.
