I am trying to have a better understanding of the duties besides what I have witnessed/observed.

How else can I have an understanding unless I ask questions or make comments?

How's it coming with that previously mentioned idea for you to start your own discussion board with fellow table personnel as contributors? That would be a great place to start!

Now!

No need to imagine anymore. All this is etched into my brain in lines of fire.

Timer's Duties:

1) Start the clock. Always.

2) Stop the clock. In a reasonable period of time.

3) Answer specific questions about whether a shot was released or a foul was committed before the expiration of time. When asked by the referee.

4) STFU. Always.

I'm a bad ref

I had a hot mommy doing the scorebook at a local 7th/8th grade rec league. Her facial expressions were great. Big smiles when the fouls were on the other team and shaking head plus grimaces when they were on her son's team.

I know I should have said something, but the expressions were straight out of a well acted porno movie. The inner dog within me just enjoyed my scorekeeper.

I felt so ...dirty.

I always tell the timer before the game that if he forgets to start the clock, we'll yell at him, but if he forgets to stop it, we won't say anything.

If I forget to start the clock, then I'm asleep at the controls & shouldn't be there at that time. If I forget to stop the clock, it's gonna be fans & coaches yelling at me due to not being able to see &/or hear the whistle/signal to stop the clock.

Leave him alone, he's in the process of getting a clue. Hows he supposed to get a clue if he can't act clueless?
