Re: Coaches and the starting line
What answer did you get? We used the on field clock because the bells had a tendency to be wildly off, or occasionally not ring at all.

we were told to ignore the clock and go by the bell - the ref said he couldn't watch the clock and 3 sets of drivers at the same time - but he could watch the drivers and listen for the bell at the same time. Sounded fair enough to me - and he was consistant about telling every team at the beginning of every match (after the initial question and dialog had brought the concern up, in the first place)
