[REQ]AvD Stopwatch

Would anybody be up to the task of creating a stopwatch for blue team and red team, that will keep track of times for AVD matches?

Maybe for use as a lua suffix prior to mapchange?
I was thinking something like a visual display, or as a scoring function.

What do you guys think?

I'm a bit puzzled as to what you really want?
You've already got the time remaining in the upper middle side of the screen, isn't that a stopwatch already?

What he's asking for is a timer which tells you how fast you've captured each point, similar to what is/was done in TF2.

Why people want FF to resemble stuff that TF2 has so badly is beyond me...

It's mainly for league stuff and allows for accurate AVD that is fair. Currently the system will favor one team or another as there is a time limit. With a stopwatch you don't have to worry about getting the short end of the stick in regards to time (usually found at the end of the map and usually the team that played defense first gets shafted).

It's a better system for league stuff.

Actually, my original request was pertaining to tricking and had nothing to do with TF2. Thanks for calling witch though.

What I was requesting was a stopwatch that would start at flag pickup and stop at flag cap. For AvD maps, it would be great if these times added together to give you a final score. The first game I saw do this was ET. Thanks! <3
