Question Number: 14485Mechanics 11/20/2006RE: Recreational Under 12 Chris of Sydney, Australia asks...When the fourth official holds up a board at the end of the game showing, say, 3 minutes of time added on, is he showing what the CR is telling him, or has he made that decision himself? Does the CR in practice always add an even number of minutes, or can he add, say, 2mins and 30 seconds? If he adds seconds, presumably the sign board merely indicates to the nearest minute? Answer provided by Referee Ben Mueller 4th official is approximating and the referee has official time.

When the referee team is in radio communication it is far easier for the referee to tell everyone how much he is going to add.
