However, it was suggested by others that a visible count is required.
No worries, I realized the misunderstanding. It's not blatantly clear, but I had already agreed with bob when he challenged the post by SNIPER.

I will say this, though. If I'm going to end a quarter on my count, I'm using a visible count. I want THAT on tape.

Our association wants a visible count to be used. Time is a very subjective measure and one persons count can be much slower or faster than what a clock would measure.

Do what your association wants, but that's different than claiming it's required by rule.

The rulebook says very little about visible counts and what counts as "definite knowledge", how do you guys define that?

My Opinion ...

For me personally, it's when I have a visible count, or when I'm consciously counting in my head (as in the last few seconds of a period, especially the last period).

For me definite knowledge would never be me mentally going back and trying to remember how much time had passed (unless I was actually counting). If I'm not counting, then it's not definite knowledge.
