START the timer at the beginning of a game. I suggest starting it about 10 seconds before even.
-There are options to be notified of Bounty Runes, Power-ups and Ancients or both.
-There are options to be notified by voice or screenflash or both.
-After starting the timer, do not stop it until the game is over.
-If someone pauses the game, use the PAUSE button and NOT the STOP button. Stopping it will reset the timer completely.
