Its not inherently more professional to be digging around in your pocket for your watch or looking at your cell phone often towards the end of the game.

I do know some areas do not use timers.

That does not mean there is nothing wrong with them.

They are there, you cant shave minutes, they beep when they go off, coaches can check the time for themselves.

If an area told me not to use one in a tourney, I simply wouldnt. I have a back up timer on keep on my Water Bottle holder. No big deal.
