Game Clock Rule

[SCFLDad]

2008 NCAA

1. Does the game clock ever start with the ready-for-play signal [S1] from the ref?

2. Rule 3-2-5 indicates that the game clock does not start until a legal snap or ref signal [S2] following various incidents, such as first down as a result of play. Is there any reason a ref would not give the clock wind signal [S2] before the snap? Does he have to give the ready-for-play signal [S1] and the clock wind signal [S2] for these incidents?

3. Is this the same for UIL/HS rules?
