Clock reads 0:00

The tenths need to be on the visible game clock, which is the one that can be seen by the players during the game. The console at the table doesn't meet that requirement.

According to 1-15 your official clock has to be a visible game clock.

Rule 1 SECTION 15 CLOCK AND SCOREBOARD
A visible game clock and scoreboard are mandatory.

Requiring that a clock be visible in no way precludes the use of other, smaller, displays of the same clock (in the console) for more accurate information. It only establishes that at least one "visible" clock must exist.

By what rule do you exclude use of the console display? Does the console display the time left on the clock/game or not? Are you saying the clock on the console is invisible?

In fact, define "visible". I can see the console from 100ft. away....it may not be legible from that far, but it is visible.

Remember that any situation where <=0.3s is relevant will start with a deadball and the clock stopped: a throwin, FT, or, in a ridiculously extreme sequence of events, a jump ball. This is easily a situation where the exact amount of time can be determined and, if necessary, communicated.
