...and I'd have to agree with Tim. Usually--and especially in a heated game--there's no way I'm gettin' within ear/eye shot of the table, let alone the coach(es). Check the book before the game's over, and steal a quick glance when the horn goes off to ensure validity. Then I'm outta there!

I don't think the game is over. The rule(s) obviously states the scorebook of the home team shall be the official book/score. So if the home book has a tied score, the game goes into overtime. The fact that the officials left the floor seems irrevelent to me. What if the scorebook and the score borad had a tie score and the officials left the floor. Would the game be over, I think not. Also, who/where does it state that the score board is the official score-it does state that the home book is the official score. I am thinking that the officials approved a tied game when they left the floor. I am not aware of anyting/anywhere that says anything about the score board being the official score. What if the home team used a card system to keep the score posted-and not an electronic scoring. Does the "cards" become the official score.

Bobby, I don't think anyone is arguing that the scoreboard is the official score. It's more a discussion of "Can the officials return to the floor since the final score was approved when they left the confines?". We all understand that the home book is the official score.
The NF has struggled with the wording on the jurisdiction rule for three years now. It appears that there needs to be something to the effect that someone needs to be ahead when the final score is approved. ![]()

I took the other approach.
Last year I was working at a small school where you have to work the Jv then the Varsity game. The JV game was close, and I personally checked with the both book after the 3rd quarter, during 3 time outs during the 4th quarter (1 which occured with about 12 seconds left), and before I left the floor. Long story short, I had to explain a ruling to the visiting coach before I left, while my partner was already in the locker room. Since I was at the bench instead of looking for the "wave" from the bench, I asked both books if they matched and were correct, got a yes from both and I left the floor. Came out for the Varsity warm up and they told us the score was actually tied. We told them it was going to stay that way. Neither my partner nor I hesitated in not bringing the JV kids back, and we were backed up by our interpreter. We have been through this "fairness" thing many times on this board. Short of me keeping the book myself, as a crew we did all we could. By rule, we could not resume the game, even if we thought it would be the "fair" thing to do. Has anyone looked (I didn't) is there a casebook sitch? |
