Not something that has happened personally, but I thought I’d ask. Let’s assume you’re at a tournament or a public pitch and there is a match on straight after yours so the teams and the ref are standing by. You have a mass confrontation or other serious match event e.g. off the ball incident...

Let's say you officiate in a league that requires you to report the substitutes and the time they happen. A sub happens at half time and you are informed. Do you report it as 45th minute or 46th minute?
