Alex,
Not sure I made myself clear.
Speaking as a player. When about to claim a 2 minute draw in a league match with no arbiter present I would
1. Stop the clock.
2. Check that I had not run out of time.
3. Say "I Wish to claim a ....."
4. Speak one more word either "draw" if my opponent has some time left or else "win" if his flag has fallen.
If I claim the draw after my opponents flag falls. I guess its time to get out of the building while my team mates analyse the position.
