Proposal 14: 4C.2.4 The Timer - End of a period or game [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: HockeySubmitted on 2016-12-07
Status: Passed on December 28, 2016
Background
For the moment a period or games end with the whistle blow of the timer. But in reality on the most playgrounds we use the technique of the score board of the gym or external computers. We should officially allow these kinds of technique.
Proposal
Old:
4C.2.4 The Timer
The Timer checks the time of play with a stopwatch.
The watch is started whenever the Referee starts the game by blowing the whistle.
At the end of each period, the Timer stops the game by blowing the whistle.
The Timer also stops the time whenever the Referee requests a time out.
New:
4C.2.4 The Timer
"The Timer checks the time of play with a stopwatch and/or with a score board."
"The watch time is started whenever the Referee starts the game by blowing the whistle."
"Each period is ended by the sound of the score board (e.g., horn, bell, gong) or the blowing of a whistle by the timer."
The Timer also stops the time whenever the Referee requests a time out. (No change!)
Body
The wording "score board" should be used for all kinds of technique but whistle.
