A skater is usually on the ice warming up while the previous skater awaits his/her marks. The clock only starts when the name is called. The skater then acknowledges the cheering crowd and takes the starting position. The new limit takes some adjusting and getting used to but it's not like there are only 30 seconds on the ice before the starting of the program. I hope we don't see many violations and deductions when the GP season starts.
