Had this happen to my son's team:

Seventh grade playoff game. In the first quarter the opponent makes a jump shot. Its pretty close to the 3-point line, but both officials correctly indicate a 2-point basket. Scorekeeper and scoreboard operator (both supplied by our team) erroneously give the player credit for a 3. At halftime, the guy next to me tells me the score is wrong. We talk about it, but don't do anything. Sure enough, at the end of regulation we're tied. The opponent goes on to win in OT. Once again the guy next to me and I talk about the score discrepancy. I filmed the game, so I went home and reviewed the tape. Bingo, found the error. Of course, nothing could be done.

Interesting footnote, the next day our coach was having a conversation with the opponent's coach, and our coach mentioned the discrepancy. The opponent's coach told our coach he knew the score was wrong all along.

Makes for an interesting moral dilemma - How far should a person go to ensure something is right?
