That was my thought and given her experience I just decided she was probably wrong. Don't get me wrong I am not going to go looking for a reason to overturn the official book in most cases. If she was sure she got it right, or if we had a play where we had waived off a score, etc, SOMETHING that would lead me to believe that the clock and visitors book could have it wrong I am going to go with the official book. In the absence of all that I just made the decision based on the totality of the evidence... |

Doesn't 2-11-11 spell it out? "The official scorer shall compare records with the visitor's scorer, and notify the referee if there is a discepancy. If the mistake cannot be found, the referee shall accept the record of the official scorebook, unless he/she has knowledge which permits him/her to decide otherwise." So, the official book could have a mistake, and given all the information available (new scorer, visitor's book info, player info, etc.), we can correct the official book. It's not written in stone.

I understand and agree with that. But your last post pretty much threw the official scorer in the same category as coaches and fans in the stands.

My point is that it's not a slam dunk to me that just because to other unofficial scorers had a different score, you automatically overrule the official book. |

We have the ability to change the official book if we know why the difference exists.

Aw, crap, we agree. This kinder, gentler forum is getting on my nerves.

Ooh...I've got that warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
Or, maybe it's just indigestion.
