6 seconds of 30 is 1/5th of the period. If they grab the Bonus Ball in the lsat 15, this can cost them the match. Or you can go over a second take the 5 point penalty, as it's less points, though the risk of disqualification is what makes it "not worth it". Still, taking 6 seconds from an opponent can decide it.
