This is very interesting. I know that a problem similar to this existed in 2004 as I personally timed matches at the CT regional in Hartford that year.

The 2004 peoblem seems to have been a bit worse as each match was an unperdictable length (some longer and some shorter than 2 minutes, with some off by as many as 12 seconds!)

I would say that if the timing is off in a consistent manner this is less of a problem that is matches have inconsistent length.

I wonder how the FMS calculates time...(not a programmer so that may be a rhetorical question...)
