In the OP, the book was apparently changed before the game. Once you get to halftime, it's too late to penalize it.

Bob,
If the coach decides to put #10/31 in the game in the second half we will now have to deal with the number change, correct? If the official scorer "claims" he made the change prior to the deadline and we have no knowledge otherwise then we should accept the home book as being correct and again, there is no penalty. Is that correct?
Or, being that we have a situation where we have been made aware the books disagree, get it straightened right now to avoid any problems in the second half?
