Home and visitor book not matching

Yes. It's simple, give the books a minute to go through everything and see if they can find the discrepancy. If they cannot, go with the official book and tell the other book to update to match the official book. If you really care that much you can check with the team benches to see if they have a second coach or something keeping stats as well but that is a little too complicated IMO.

Why? Isn't all you have to do is say "that's the official book, and that's what matters"? I would think since the other book is un-official, you would not instruct them to do anything.

You are saying you would allow both books to continue with a discrepancy?

The book that's not official means nothing. Once I make a decision that we're sticking with what the home book says, it's up to the V book to match up; but I'm not holding up the game while they do it.
