I had to physically take the official book from this guy and tell the guy who was doing the announcing to write the numbers/starters from the visiting team into the official book so I could have a look...should've known it was gonna be a long night...

As Bob alluded to, they're required to provide the numbers to avoid the T. They are not required to have the numbers in the book to avoid the T. You can't possibly punish the visiting team (or home team, for that matter) if they've given the info to the scorer but the scorer either isn't there or hasn't entered the info yet.
