ARTICLE 4.
a. Game Clock. Playing time shall be kept with a game clock that may be
either a stopwatch operated by the line judge, back judge, field judge or side
judge, or a game clock operated by an assistant under the direction of the
appropriate judge. The type of game clock and the location of the game clock
operator shall be determined by the game management. The game clock
operator may be located on the sideline or in the traditional press box area.

location is between the goal lines. This location shall be shielded from public
interference and shall afford a direct and unobstructed view of the playing
field. The game clock shall not display tenths of seconds.
