The Game Clock field can be accessed from the top of every tab.

Notes:

• While the Game Clock shows time remaining in the period, time entries in other fields should be entered as time progressed. For example, if a penalty is called after five minutes in the first period, you would enter ì05:00î in the Off field on the PENALTIES tab.
