What didn't the R catch that one book had more players than the other?

We only check the official book, and given the specifics of this game, there were never (or at least rarely) all the players out for warm ups at any given moment, so all we could do was see that there were "about" 10 players and "at least" 10 names in the book.

Given that the visitors were behind something like 49-27 when this came up, and given the visitor's scorekeeper's (who was a HS kid at a religious school -- the game was between two schools that aren't even part of the IHSA)assertion that he told ("supplied") the home scorekeeper to add the name, I decided that the best thing to do was ignore the T. That doesn't mean that's what I'd do in a different circumstance -- thus my question as to what "supply" means.
