Instructing timekeepers prior to the game is one of the referee’s duties. In order to standardize those instructions, Don Dennison (NISOA National Clinician) has developed for NISOA a one page handout that can be distributed to the timekeepers or used for your briefing. Feel free to print out a copy of this handout and leave it with the timekeeper or simply refer to it when providing your pregame instructions. This handout is also available in our Forms Directory.
