Before a football time clock can even be started there are a few things the operator must know. The clock operator is required to be at the field forty-five minutes before the scheduled game time. This is so that the operator and the football officials can synchronize their watches. At thirty minutes before game time the clock is normal started with thirty minutes on that clock. All pre-game and half time activities must be synchronized with the game clock. A mandatory three-minute warm-up period will be placed on the clock after the intermission time has ended. The operator must have a additional stopwatch available in case there is a mechanical failure with the clock. Game procedures are as follows: 1. When the ball is kicked the nearest official will signal the legal touching of the ball and indicate for the clock to start. 2. When the official declares the ball to be dead in play, it is that official to signal a time-out when a first down occurs. 3. Any official may signal a team time-out and can signal the operator to stop the clock. 4. On plays near a boundary line, unless an official so signals, if a pass is caught out of bounds, the incompletion signal will stop the clock. NOTE: on plays near the out-of-bounds line and in advance of the line to gain, an official may give a winding signal to indicate the ball is inbounds and follow it by a stop-the-clock signal for the first down. 5. Clock will be automatically stopped if there is a touchdown, field goal, touchback or safety. 6. After the clock has been stopped the official will start it again with a start-the-clock signal, if no signal is given the clock must be restarted on the snap. 7. An official may start the clock again before the ready-for-play signal. 8. There are instances when a period shall be extended by an untimed down. During these extensions, leave the clock at :00. Do not reset the for the next period until the official declares the period over.

Relationship between period of pendulum and length?
The longer a pendulum is, the more time it takes a pendulum takes to complete a period of time. If a clock is regulated by a pendulum and it runs fast, you can make it run slower by making the pendulum longer. Likewise, if the clock runs slow, you can make your clock run faster by making the pendulum shorter. (What a pendulum actually does is measure the ratio between time and gravity at a particular location, but that is beyond the scope of this answer.)
What effect would the temperature have on the time kept by pendulum clock if the pendulum rod increased in length with an increase in temperature?
