Following a discussion, here are possible improvements of timer functionality that I compiled:
Relative time
Allow a user to add a relative time in a timer hour.
If the user has defined that the timer for round 3 is t + 5 minutes, then the end of round 2 will trigger the timer, showing that round 3 will start 5 minutes later.
One caveat: if a result is deleted to be changed, do we re-trigger the timer?
Hiding timers manually
Allow a user to hide timers in the admin event configuration screen and/or the timer configuration screen.
Could be done with a simple 'active' toggle.
This is especially useful for timers where only a partial selection of rounds have defined timer hours.
Hiding timers automatically
Allow a user to define times when a given timer will be hidden from view.
This could be during the default time period, or between rounds whose start times are not defined.
