I don't think this answers the question, but merely changes the question from interpreting 'provide' to interpreting 'supply'. Information can be supplied verbally, after all.

I'm in the camp that will assess a T for 00 to enter. The only verifiable info supplied or provided by the visitors was the written lineup. If the visitors complained, I would say, "next time be sure to write your entire lineup."

It would be interesting to know whether 00 was in the visitor's book.

Yes, 00 was in the visitor's book.

Interesting.

Often around here we'll see the visitors just hand their book over to the home scorekeeper to copy the lineup. That would have solved the problem.

What did you end up doing?

You're right. It's not an answer. But I figured I'd post the text so everybody didn't have to go look it up.

Did you and your partner count the number of players on each team during warm ups? If so, did the number of players you had agree with the number of players entered into the official score book? If the numbers did agree then you have may a player who is wearing a different number from the one is listed in the book.

Point being, is this something that could have be caught before the 10 minute mark?

Gotcha. I apologize for misinterpreting your italics.

Here in my little corner of Washington State, the floor officials check the official book for the # of players suited up. The other book is checked as well, but only if numbers don't add up.
