If the clock hits zero, and you step forward right afterwards, and you get a penalty for stepping forward before the bell, you might wish to show the linked Q&A to the head ref. Whether the ruling is changed or not in your case, you will get clarification, and possibly an overall change in how it's called at the event. |
There's your official answer. It's been when the clock reaches zero for as long as I've paid attention to it, and the GDC has clarified it for us this year, so there you go. (:
Competition and inspiration go hand in hand. Those who inspire will be pushed to do it again and again by those who see this as a healthy competition. Those who are inspired will compete to be an inspiration to others. You can have your cake (competition) and eat it (inspire) too.
