Along the lines of the thread about an inept scorekeeper, we had this in a game Sat. night. Soph. girls game. At half-time, the home scorer, an adult, tells us that there was a number 54 for the visitors that she added to the book when she checked into the game. What happened was that a student had copied the visiting lineup into the home book and had left off #54. We decided that we would check the visitors book. If they had a 54, we would not assess a technical. We were not going to penalize the visitors for an error caused by a student of the home team. 54 was in the visitors book so we let it go. On our part, we could have checked the book before the game and seen if it matched the players on the floor. Don't take anything for granted, especially in sub-varsity games where students do a lot of the bookwork.
