Scorekeepers says there was another jump ball at the 3:07 mark. I look at the visitors book & it is identical to hers except for this last jump ball. My partner & I are 95% sure but not 100% that the arrow is correct. I go with the arrow and she is screaming my book is the only official book. Fortunately Home won in overtime and all is well. Without being 100% sure of you arrow what would you do?
P.S. It no no longer matters if the powers that be say not to keep the arrow in you pocket, I will be from here on out.
1. Don't let anyone at the table scream anything at you. You can ask them for input but once you make a decision they need to just shut up.

2. Never keep the arrow at the table or in your pocket. Keep it in your head next to something important - like your lock combination number and the location of your car in the parking lot.
