Gosh, maybe it was a summer league tournament with no scoreboard - just the little flippie number things at the table for the score...the kids running the table were players from the host team who had never done it before...two of the officials were rookies to whatever level of ball it was, and the third just had his/her hands full keeping the crew together and lost track of the fouls...it happens.
