To me, it tells me we're getting close, but I generally know that anyway.
Snaq, you are forgetting one minor detail in that majority of the time I am timer in Sub-V games where the personnel doing the scorebook really don't have much of a clue about what their duties/responsibilities are. I am in continual communication with the official scorer about the running score & foul counts. However, they do not seem to realize that they need to signal when in bonus/double bonus.

I have been doing what I can to train them properly, however I have no say (and apparently the coaches don't care), & there seems to be always some issues each game.

No, I didn't forget anything. Your situation has no bearing on what I do.

I have more issues in 5 games with the clock than I've had in my career with the scorebook.
