Wow.
The words aren't in the book, so some officials... especially newer ones... may not think to check the visitor book to make sure of a mistake in copying the presented lineup. That's why I said what I did. Not because I don't know the rule. Not because I believe in doing exactly what the book says to do, and not doing what the book doesn't say to do. I presented it, as if talking to an inexperienced official, as a way to correct an error without creating more problems. If saying I was wrong will end this debacle then fine... I was wrong. |

Bottom line: this isn't that big of a deal, just sort it out. The only way a T is going to be given is if the coach screwed up and gave the table the wrong info and wants to "pay" to fix it after the 10 minute mark. Otherwise, Coach can make his starters match the book (even if the wrong starter trots out for the jump). Case 3.2.2 specifically says that once the game starts and an incorrect starter started, there is no penalty.
I think I will still have Coach take a look at the starters just to make sure it looks right, although the OP shows this doesn't always work. It also gives me a reason to go talk to each coach before the game without looking like I'm just chatting. |

"Some of us know..." So you're admitting there are some officials that would not think to check the visitor book to make sure it was a copying error, and not an error in presenting the lineup/starters. This has nothing to do with me having to learn anything. This is an example of, at the least, a misunderstanding in my intentions when replying to the OP of this thread. There have been plenty of assumptions made on this board, and those assumptions can sometimes lead to a feeling of being insulted. This is where I'm at. Thank you for the advice, though. |

You question of "Where in the rule book does it say to check the visitor's book?" was taken by many to be an implication that it was not allowable to check the book. If that's not what you meant, you did not express yourself well. (And for that matter, you still aren't.) There is only one avenue to explore: the list provided by the coach. It doesn't matter if that's the visiting book or the back of a take-out menu. It's the only thing you need to check. |

@zm1283 I agree and don't like doing it but everyone I work with has said that's the way it's done. I've not had to T anyone for any issues, though opposing coaches have tried to get a cheap one when a book keeping error is discovered. I just try to when in Rome it. If everyone I see working better games than mine does it, I try to emulate it so maybe I can move up. I think it's silly but somebody higher on the food chain thinks it needs done, so I do.
