jkumpire, there is the letter of the rule and the intent of the rule. What you are suggesting does not have any support anywhere in any rules set. If there is a screw-up, then it has to be lived with unless it happens prior to the stated deadlines in the rules codes. Teach everyone the proper way to do things and other officials will not have to deal with a problem that you pass on to them.
If I am the opposing coach or your assigner, I will be asking you to show me in the rules exactly where you found justification for your decision. Then I will probably not be very kind to you for creating your own rules.
