Clock Question

[PIAA REF]

The book says if the clock doesn't display .3 seconds that we do not use the tap rule. But what if it does show tenths on the board that the clock operator uses and not the display boards that we see. Do we go by what the clock operator sees or what we see? Can we choose in this case?

If the clock shows tenths of a sec at the table but not on the scoreboard, there is still time on the clock until the horn sounds.

My interpretation is that you go by the visible game clock.

You cannot go by the visible clock, you go by the horn (it could show 0:00 and the horn does not go off). The horn is all that matters anyway, but if there are not tenths of a second you cannot apply the .3 restriction on catching and shooting.

Scoreboard shows 0:00 but the horn has not sounded. we have a tableside throw-in... we cannot verify the time remaining?

I would look to make sure the auto-horn was on. But I'm still waiting for the horn to call it.

Of course, but what I'm asking is, the board shows zeros & the clock has .2 at the table. do we take that knowledge & not allow a catch-n-shoot or do we freestyle it?

Unless I'm reading the rule wrong. Or unless we hear differently from Denver or local Poobahs.
