We Timed Every Game. World Cup Stoppage Time Is Wildly Inaccurate
- anonu 8y agoThe article fails to mention "precedence". The usual stoppage time is lower because it's always around the same amount of time and it's a single digit number. Psychologically the ref will always gravitate to that familiar number.
- everdev 8y ago> Putting more than 10 minutes on the board would represent such a break from tradition that it might incite a riot. It does, but it would be nice to know the average through history. It seems as though it's about 1min extra time for each 2min wasted. Which makes sense why players waste time now. If it was 1:1 time wasting would just be more of an opportunity to catch your breath and organize your formation.
