All I know is that 9 seconds should be 9 seconds and 15 minutes should be 900 s, but now questioning my own sanity on if it is*

Thread:

I have not heard anyone properly explain what 1 second on a scoreboard actually means. is there 1.999999 left? Is there .000001 left? (m) - By uncwolverine September 8, 2026 at 07:40:22 PM
- Why would it ever be more than one second?* - By hurryup September 8, 2026 at 10:44:31 PM
- If not specifically dictated, does it just come down to however the software vendor decided it should go? Ie potentially variable depending on venue?* - By LKLIII September 8, 2026 at 08:13:43 PM
  - it’s 15:00 no matter what. Time of possession adds up to 60:00 total - By mjhollen September 8, 2026 at 08:33:41 PM
- I think it's one of those things we just never have to think about. Should the clock move one second immediately or hold one second. If it moves immediately, a quarter is 14:59.* - By LewisBullox September 8, 2026 at 07:49:14 PM
  - Yep, and again, nobody seems to really know* - By uncwolverine September 8, 2026 at 08:15:11 PM

- It’s from 0:01.99 to 0:01.00 - By syrfan September 8, 2026 at 07:44:40 PM
  - What is your basis for saying that?* - By jukebox September 8, 2026 at 09:16:37 PM
  - That cannot possibly be right. (nm) - By GritsGoBlue September 8, 2026 at 08:27:57 PM
  - there is going to be a potential difference between the displayed 2 digit value and the actual time remaining if it is displayed that way. Resetting to 9 seconds gives you 9 seconds until it hits zero - By DoctorD September 8, 2026 at 08:10:28 PM
  - Where are you getting this? So at 0 seconds, it’s really just the last full second?* - By mjhollen September 8, 2026 at 07:46:57 PM
    - I agree , where is this coming from? My understanding was 0:01 = 0:01-0:000001, and 0:00= no time left. Anything otherwise would be asinine.* - By jfitz September 8, 2026 at 07:59:16 PM
    - The clock in stadium will show 0 at .9999999999 seconds, this is a problem* - By Daytripper September 8, 2026 at 07:48:55 PM
      - Does the 15:00 mark hold for 1 full second at the start of a quarter? That’s the only way this would be possible* - By mjhollen September 8, 2026 at 08:00:16 PM
        
        See now I'm confused. It does, right?* - By Daytripper September 8, 2026 at 08:07:58 PM
  - yup, the symbols help me with it personally* - By Daytripper September 8, 2026 at 07:45:18 PM
- It could mean anything from < 2 to => 1. Which is not good* - By Daytripper September 8, 2026 at 07:42:18 PM
