Set the alarm for 6:40 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 6:40 p.m.

You are watching the clock while waiting to referee a match on the covered barangay court, making sure the teams start at the appointed moment. Set the alarm for 6:40 pm so you can finish checking the ball, boundaries, and score sheet without repeatedly looking at your phone. The remaining stretch before 7:00 pm can cover a quick briefing with both captains.

Your attention will soon be on players and calls, so check whether your phone is on silent before relying on the alert. The alarm may appear on screen without making a sound when silent mode is enabled, which could delay the match you are due to referee. Choose an audible setting, raise the volume, and test it once while you are still beside the court. Keep this browser page active and the phone awake; otherwise, the alarm for the match may not sound at 6:40 pm.

Once the final whistle goes this afternoon, leave a small buffer before your next commitment of the day. Barangay court matches can run beyond the planned finish because of stoppages, disputed calls, or score checks. Packing your whistle and notes immediately after play helps preserve that buffer, while a separate later alarm can mark when you need to leave for your next stop.
