A season's worth of errors....and it's my fault?!

Worked an all-church tournament this past Sunday. At the beginning of a game, a coach asked how many timeouts she would get. The scorer said ten. I was there and said huh? Apparently, these scorers were told that it was five timeouts per half and had been running with that all season. Also, at the end of one of the games, another coach ripped me because his team had been whistled for nine fouls in the fourth quarter, which is fine, but the other team never shot bonus free throws because the score keepers only showed five fouls in the book during the second half. We would report a foul, and would ask bonus? and they'd look at us with those blank looks as if they'd never heard of the word bonus.

So eight games brought enough grief and hell from all these God-fearing fans in the bleachers; plus we got to endure some of the incompetence from the scorer's bench. At least they paid in cash.
