Ant, iread on another thread you thought talking timers were not a good idea. You said it result's in alot of delay of games. PLEASE ELABORATE ON THIS WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE. It's okay if coaches want to use them however should the go on the road and that team doesn't have them then they will get more delay of game penalties. It is always better to rely on you're self ( physically look at the clock ) then to rely on the sound of the timmer. As in the NFL the QB see's the play clock in the end zone, we simulate the same thing.
I have timers i got from a drug store. $4 each . They do not talk but the numbers are big and clear that can be seen pretty good from a distance. That is the best thing to use These are great for game clocks. I imagine they can work well as the 45 second clock also. If placed where both coaches can see it clearly as they are setting up, they can glance at it periodically to see how many seconds they have left. This paticular timer counts up or down with an alarm that goes off at the end of the programed time.

Anyway, just curious why the talking timer will result in too many delay of games.

thanx
