End of timed warmup question?
 

Ok here's an interesting question from my matches tonight-
In Southern California we set the clock for warmup as follows:5,6,6,3 mins to make up our 20 minute warmups. His question was what is considered the end of Warmup for the purposes of submitting lineups-Either the end of our second six minutes or the three minute period? My answer, his answer, and my official scorekeeper's answer was that it ended with the second six minutes and that lineups must be in by one minute to go in that period! Were we right? casebook/rulebook citations please!

If the 3 minutes is part of the warmup period, why on earth would it not be considered part of the timed warmup period? What am I missing here?

SCalScoreKeeper, Felix asked the key question. How does your 5-6-6-3 break down? Is it 5 minutes common, 6 minutes serving team full court, 6 minutes receiving team full court, 3 minutes teams serving at each other???

Actually, the easiest thing to do is put 20 minutes on the clock and run it. Rosters are due at 10 minutes and line-ups are due at 2 minutes. Your R2 can toot the whistle or the timer can sound the horn at 15, 9. 3 and zero, but the clock tells you when rosters and line-ups are due at the table.

Use the KISS principle, it makes life SO much easier.

I'd love to!
 

Our period breaks down into 5 minutes shared, 6 minutes serving team, 6 minutes receiving, 3 minutes court cleared! For some reason this is how the officials in our area are instructed to have timers handle pre-match!

Then ask the officials in your area how the frick they are interpreting the 10 and 2 minute time limit restrictions. They are the only ones who can answer your question.
