is correct.

Well, you are beating it to death!

It's not a point of jurisdiction. Everybody agrees that the jurisdiction has NOT ended. That's not the point. The point is whether the error can be corrected or not because the game is ever. It's obvious that the officials' still have jurisdiction but whoever wrote this believes that the error is not correctible, simply because the horn sounded.

Excuse me a second while I get a bigger stick.

OK, I'm back now. So, if we have jurisdiction what else
(besides the quizzer's opinion) prevents us from utilizing
2-10? I think we agree that it's not so clear cut and we'll
both be happy to live with a definitive interpretation.
All I'm saying is that I can't for the life of me think
of anything other than jurisdiction to justify the given
answer and we agree that jurisdiction is not the issue.
You are saying that 2-10 no longer applies because the
game is "over", I'm saying the game is in fact not "over"
until the final score is verified, which coincides with
the end of our jurisdiction.
