You don't have control over when a Top Spot show starts. The producer sets the buy in amount, the duration, and the countdown time. It starts automatically when the countdown is up, regardless of if you hit the goal or not. If you hit the goal early before the countdown is up, then a pop up appears that shows that you have 90 seconds before it starts automatically.
