What the rule 1.1.3 means?

Hello.
I couldn’t completely understand the sentence, in the rule-1.1.3, “Being at the inspection table does not count in favor of this time limit.” I think it means “If inspection is prolonged, teams don’t have to worry about the time limit.” Is my understanding correct? In order to translate into Japanese, I want to know what this rule is intended.

Hello, @RootE.
Actually, the meaning of this sentence is the opposite. The most important message of 1.1.3 is “Teams are expected to be on the field 5 minutes before their game starts”.

“Being at the inspection table does not count in favor of this time limit.”: this means that if the team is at the inspection table 5 minutes before, this is not the same as being on the field.

In other words, the teams are expected to be on the field 5 minutes before the game starts. The teams must consider the inspection time on their planning.

If this is still not clear, please let me know.
Cheers!
