It's a much better indicator for a quick glance than numbers IMHO.

Keep it.

If you really need a TRUE CLOCK at your events, then you should of signed up for NJ, Boston, Hartford & Atlanta where I will be.
Elgin,
I have to agree with you, it's a great indicator.

For a 1st year scoring system, (it's a new company this year), if all teams have to complain about is having a clock vs a moving bar they've done a great job. You should be happy that the system worked so well in week one. I know its what you would expect, but it's not what has been deliverded the last few years. In the past years the scoring system still had "opportunities" past week two, three, four..... All that extra stuff that shows up on the screen this year via the scoring system is a BONUS to us all.

Teams you all have coaches and human players in your stations, they could place themselves to see the clock on the opposing teams wall. Also there are audiable warnings, plus generally the play-by-play announcer is also calling times remaining throughout the match.

Just one more man's opinion
