Got Clock?

It is communication between partners that the "Got Clock" official is monitoring the countdown to the end of the quarter. It also creates awareness for the crew that the end of the qtr is near.

In two-person mechanics, it will be the trail, UNLESS there is only one scoreboard then it could be the lead who has visual alignment to observe game action and the scoreboard.

I disagree. The horn ends the period, not the clock, so being able to see the clock should have no bearing on this. Give the call to the trail.

I've been told the same thing. If there's only one scoreboard, the trail still has it no matter what.
