Why would you ask the game officials how they want the clock run as opposed to simply following the rules as written in the book?

Here in the Land of Steady Habits, at halftime, we put 9:00 on the clock, and tell the timer to get "everybody" at the 3:00 mark. When the horn goes off after the 9:00 goes by, the timer is instructed to put 1:00 on the clock. At the 0:15 mark, the "first horn" sounds, followed at 0:00 by the final horn, at which point we're ready to start the third period. We've probably been doing this, as a state, for ten, or fifteen, years.
