Title: Saitek Timer is NOT suitable for official Scrabble tourneys
Product review: I used my Saitek timer at the National Scrabble Championship in Orlando, FL, this year and it was promptly decided by the directors that it was unsuitable for Scrabble tourneys. The reason is that once you start the clock at 00:25 (25 minutes per person is the default start time for Scrabble tournaments), the seconds counter does NOT appear until much later! It immediately starts by showing 00:24. What is really happening is that it has started counting down: 00:24:59, 00:24:58, 00:24:57, etc. but the seconds are NOT displayed on the timer until later when it has counted down down to 20 minutes at which point, it will show 19:59, 19:58, 19:57, 19:56, etc. I have no idea why it behaves this way, but as it is, the Saitek timer is disallowed at official Scrabble tournaments. Sigh!
