Couple questions from Exam part 1

Finally my books!!
Okay, I understand what you guys are talking about on the scoring and scorer issues, it says the REFEREE makes the final decision. But this question was talking about correctable errors and in 2-10-1 it says: OFFICIALS may correct an error.......so I have to take that as too question #11, since it's under the section on correctable errors on the test, as FALSE! If it was under the scoring section, we would have to say True, but since it is talking about correctable errors, shouldn't this question be false????

1) I woulnd't consider the "heading information" to be part of the question.

2) You originally wrote that the question was, "11. only the REFEREE is authorized to correct a scoring mistake" In fact, the question is, "Only the referee is authorized to correct the erroneous awarding of a score." That's a completely different question, and one that is easily answered in the book (2-10-1).

Once again, Bob is spot on!
The first is a bookkeeping mistake. Only the referee deals with that. There was no rule set aside by the officials on the court that resulted in this, so it does not qualify as a correctable error. (Note that along with being one of the five items listed, the error must be due to the setting aside of a rule by the officials. Both of those requirements must be met for something to be classified as a correctable error. Otherwise, the situation is just a mistake which sometimes can be fixed and sometimes can't.)
The second is a clearly defined correctable error. Any official is authorized to handle a correctable error, but the referee should certainly be involved.

Always listen to Bob.
