marking time is only used as part of the manouver
"chancging direction in column of route.........left form"
and is still done in quick or slow time, its not a time initself mearly marching on the spot in the same time as everyone else

Ahem...
For those who didn't get it the first time my mention of
'marking time' was a reference to the time when the
scores are added up at the end. It is now time to mark
the answers and hand out scores, ie: it's marking time.
