Thank you gentlemen for your input. This will help me in the future.
I am enough of a student of the game to know when the clock should be started and stopped. What was confusing me in this game was the official was wanting to start the clock early (i.e. after in incomplete pass he was signaling the clock to be started after the ball was spotted, long before the offense broke huddle). I've seen this in blowout games but never in a 6-6 game.
I guess in the future I will walk down and ask in pregame if the referee is using "hurry-up" rules and if so, exactly what he is wanting from me.

I wouldn't. Just follow his signals. It might be a quirk of your Jr. High league. The official could have just been messing up. Either way....

The ECO is basically a remote "start/stop" switch. By following the R's signals, you've done your job. If there's a screw-up, it's on him.
