Same here... for the record, I did provide the info & realized that he wasn't going to give in. No need to cause a big delay in a National Tournament! Fortunately for the crew it was an off season contest & the IC did not affect the outcome of the game.
The calling official was the veteran on the crew.
I thought the situation provided me with an opportunity to share with my mentee:
1. How to provide information to a partner.
2. How to know who you're dealing with and either defer to the vet (if its not a gamer) or use the phrase that pays if necessary.
3. How to follow up the next day with a non confrontational email with a rules support.
