The PTS requires a clock operator to operate simultaneous with the referees so that when the system fails, the operator's mirroring actions, are just like a conventional clock system.

What I can't figure out is why restarting the system runs 3 seconds off of the clock.

Neither could I, obviously!

Powering on may have caused a "start" signal to be sent, but we power off the PTS and turn it back on before the start of a half. My only other guess is that one of the time-ins from the belt packs was "trapped" in the circuitry and the reset let it get processed.
