Do we have a technical here?

My only point was that we are not giving a T because it is not in the book. That is a common myth people hold because they are going off of practice than what the rule actually says.

I would agree we do not know for sure what was provided by either team in this case.

If the home team had put the info into the book, but the book wasn't at the table, does that count as "being supplied?"

Under the rule, probably, but if there is no official scorer, you can't penalize the team. How can you provide the official scorer the information if there is no official scorer to be found?

You have to ask yourself, what the intent of the rule is. The rule is not to penalize a team for what the table does nor does not do. All they have to do is provide the information and if they have made an attempt to do so without the scorer being there, in my opinion that is good enough to comply with the rule.
