Peter, NF and NCAA rules both state that the game is over when we leave the visual confines of the floor. Even if we sign the book, the game is not over until we leave.

Is this a new one this year? I thought game ended upon approval, and leaving was construed as a form of approval.

An editorial change was made this year to reflect the true desire of the Committee. The jurisdiction of the officials' is terminated AND the final score has been approved when the referee leaves the visual confines of the playing area. A question on last year's Part 1 exam made the Committe realize that, the way the rule was worded, the jurisdiction actually ended when the score was approved, even if the officials were still on the floor.
Incidentally, in NC, we sign the book before the game.
