What I normally do is set my watch with an extra minute, i.e. 1 hour 45 game, set at 1 hour 46.

The reason for that is I will start the clock when I break the pre game meeting, instead of trying to start the clock at the first pitch.

Just saves me a hassle.

I do exactly the same in championship play, I add a minute to my timer and discuss it at pregame.

In non championship play I start it after the meeting and do not add the minute.

And mine finally fell apart last week.....I need a new one!

In the scoring I've done for NFHS FP and ASA SP, I record the time when the pitcher delivers the first pitch. I figure even if the time limit officially starts before then, I won't be off by more than a minute or two at the most. (Plus it gives me an accurate game length, provided I remeber to record the time when the game ends )

Mine no longer beeps.. so I have to watch it.

SRW can give me one too since they dont need em and they still keep top secret time and shave minutes during championship play in WA.

Knowing that you're full of $h!t from past postings, I take this in the jest that you intend it to be.

For those of you who care: We do not shave time off the clock, and the game time is not top secret.

And lastly, I'm not with WA. I'm with Seattle Metro.

HA! Phew someone is finally catching on.

I'm guessing you have work with the nq. If so, good luck this weekend. I had all those teams last weekend and it was a great tourney. No problems at all.. 1 coach warning and it was not even a heavy handed warning.

Yes.

Timers mandatory at our NQ. Not a secret Seattle Metro Shave Time Watch neither, a timer on the fence the coach could see.

Yeah, I'm working in it. That's good to know that they're mellow ... but who knows, maybe the salty morning dew will rust up their thinkers.

Around here, the FAT (Fence Attached Timer) is started right after the plate meeting.
