Score book shenanigans
One starter for the visitor was marked wrong. #35 was marked as a starter, coach wanted #32. They had it right in their book, but it got copied over wrong. The R (my partner) had head coach look it over pregame and he signed off on it. Table notifies us pre-toss, Visitor coach whines but puts #35 in and takes #32 out. My partner issues a T! I notify him that the coach should be allowed to switch them out with no penalty. He doesn't take my advice. So now coach wants to go ahead and start #32 since he has to pay the penalty. I allow it. My partner informs me and coach that isn't allowable and makes #35 start. I looked it up after the game to make sure; Case play 3.2.2 clearly says the starters can be switched out without penalty, and the only time there is a penalty for this is if coach wants to go ahead and start #32 despite her not being marked as a starter. I did not always have coaches look over the book, but I will be doing so from now on for sure.

I agree. It sounds from the OP like the visiting team provided the correct information and the home book transcribed it incorrectly.

I don't have them look either, for the exact same reason. If you have them look it over after the 10 minute mark (which at least in my area is almost all you ever see for warmup time because they're trying to stay on schedule), then there is nothing they can change, so why worry about it?

I like this approach much better, but is this in the case/rule book? I guess the risk would be some coach changing his mind at the last minute and blaming the table. Agree that none of this is a big deal, but you know how bent out of shape some folks get about this stuff.

Usually you ask to see what was provided to the home book.

I consider the home book to be the book being kept on the home team's bench, if there is in fact one. What really matters is what's given to the official scorekeeper.

Take a look at the visitor book.
If the correct starter is marked there, you have evidence that it was a copying error. Allow the change in the home/official book... without penalty... and start the game. If the visitor book is the same as the home/official book, which has a different starter, then move on to a tech to make a change or let the team switch the starter to what's in the book without penalty. You don't have to be a hard-ass about everything. |

In reality the home book 99.99% of the time IS the official scorekeeper.

This has nothing to do with being a hard ass. The crew chief kicked every rule associated with this situation.
