So now the clock will only start when the ball is legally touched on a throw-in. This is good. If the clock moves on an immediate kick, it is a timing error and we should reset it.

Since this change was not announced or shaded in gray and we have discussed it on this forum, I thought that I would call attention to it.

So, if the official doesn't start the clock, and the timer does, it's considered a timing error?

Who would'a thunk it?
