I thought the official book was the official score, not the scoreboard. If there is a discrepancy and the official book differs from the scoreboard, the official book is what you go with. No? [/B][/QUOTE]

That's correct. When JR was referring to the "running score" he was not referring to the scoreboard. He was referring to the "lines of numbers" at the top or side of the scorebook.
