This is one area where online scheduling helps. In the past, pencil, paper, and even Excel, were prone to errors. Assignors and officials both writing down the wrong date. Heck, that happened to me last year (show extremely embarrassed red face here) when I heard "8th grade" while getting my schedule and wrongly assumed it was on a Tuesday. Online, officials "accept" the assignment and are on better notice of when and where it is. Coaches and ADs are supposed to check their game assignment list.
I've only had this happen a couple of times in both football and basketball (30+ seasons combined with both sports). What has happened more often is that we get to the site and find out there is only 1 more or less game than we expected.
