Mark this is directly from your longwinded post:
MTD says, "You have stated that the game official made a mistake in not signaling time in, and mistakes by the game officials (not to be confused with correctable errors) cannot be corrected."
Let's look at that last line again, MTD says, " Mistakes by the game officials (not to be confused with correctable errors) CANNOT BE CORRECTED."
Would that be like erroneously signaling time to start, as in rule 5-9-1?
