While watching Men's Handball competition. I noticed the clock running forward (time that has lapsed), but viewing Womens Field Hockey, the timing was regressive (time remaining). :eek:

Is there not an international standard of timing in Olympic gaming?

For the record, Argentina is winning 2-1 over USA in Womens Field Hockey, second half, at the 00:27:15 mark.
Putting on the rally cap!

Assuming this isn't a fake post, the clock rules are by sport. Just like a clock on soccer would count up, but a basketball clock would count down.

A very legit post.
Thanks for the info.
