Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:
Virtually all team sports I know aside of football (soccer) have some kind of precise time keeping I think this is perhaps a selection bias on your part, as pretty much all the traditional British team sports use the "stoppage time" model: this applies to all of football , rugby (both union and league ) and field hockey . Going slightly further afield, it applies in the Gaelic sports as well: Gaelic football , hurling /camogie and shinty, and even further afield to Australian rules football as well. Bandy (which may or may not be a British sport) also uses a running clock.
