TALKING TIMERS, NOT A GOOD IDEA

[mantaraydre]

I WILL ADDRESS ALL QUESTIONS TO ANT AND JIMBO.


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.

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. 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
