OFFICIAL SCOREBOOK!!!
If the scoreboard and the scorebook don't match at any time during the game, are you really advocating that we should accept the scoreboard?
Rule 5-3..."The winning team is the one which has accumulated the greater number of points when the game ends as in 2-2-4."
Do you deliberately bring up nonsense like this to confuse newer officials?

ha ha! it's amazing what one can come up with when one applies the basics, well done! so just from a procedural point of view, how would this be fixed, and what would be the statute of limitations on something like this? what if the next day the home coach looked at the book and realized that it was wrong and confirmed with the visiting team, etc.....i guess it would have to be handled by the state association....hard to believe this could actually happen, but i suppose it could...
