Nope no shot clock. I do have one on my wrist via the smart watch app but they don't know that. Still it doesn't stop them asking. I just say "thank you, I'm aware" and just ignore.Is there a "shot clock" normally available at community level? There isn't at DRFC.
Other than the ref's watch which nobody else can see.
If we are getting close I will give a 15 second warning but I have never, and probably will never, blown up. If time ever is up and the ball is on the tee I'll just tell them to kick now. If the ball (there is usually only one) isn't on the tee, it's probably because someone is retrieving it from a tree or the stream next to the pitch. So not really fair to apply the shot clock at this level. Empathy is still the main thing to have in consideration in the weeds
