The usage is perfectly valid. None can mean 'not one' and take a singular verb; it can also mean 'not any' and take a plural verb. Which one you use is solely down to what you think sounds more natural (and in this case, 'are' sounds much better to me).

Our bridge club uses a Windows application for the round timer. When there are a few minutes left in the round, it announces "Do not start any new boards; there's 3 minutes left in the round." It should be "There are" (unless you set it to warn at the 1 minute mark).
