A game you never want to have

Under which rule would they do that under? There's no mercy rule in Texas.

Very true, about having no mercy rule. How about the forfeiture due to unsporting conduct?

No way a game will be forfeited due to a team running up the scoring. While it may not be good sportsmanship, there are no provisions to do anything about it.

Had this happen Saturday night, Home Team: 68, Visiting Team: 8.

This was a Girls' Varsity game that started out with the Visiting team getting an administrative T for having the wrong starters listed right after tip-off.

The two teams involved were: Connell Eagles (Home), & Wahluke Warriors (Visiting). Watching Wahluke play, felt like watching a 3rd/4th grade team playing as throughout the whole game they couldn't get into any established plays.

Here's what the box store shows:
Connell 68, Wahluke 8

WAHLUKE (8)

Synthia Mungia 2, Karen Salazar 2, Thelma Jimenez 2, Jessica Martinez 2, Erazo, Munoz, Soliz, Tapia, Corrales, Sanchez. Totals 3-24 2-2 8.

CONNELL (68)

Brianna Casper 18, Riner, Easterday, Wells 2, McGary 9, Gibbons 5, Whitby 6, Bjorge 8, Booker 14, Withers 6. Totals 25-65 15-23 68.

Wahluke 2 0 2 4 — 8

Connell 20 18 13 17 — 68

Highlights — Brooke Gibbons 12 rbs; Maci Whitby 6 rbs, 8 stls; Sarah McGary 4 asts; Kayla Bjorge 4 asts, 6 stls.

Dear Chseagle:
The whimsical question of concern as to your whereabouts expressed by some poster was strictly satirical.
Please go back under your rock....

Incorrect.

Penalized if discovered before ball becomes alive to start the game: A team shall not change a designated starter (with exceptions) after the ten minute time limit. Team technical foul. A maximum of one foul per team regardless of the number of infractions. If a player starts who was not designated to be a starter, the infraction has to be discovered, and penalized, before the ball becomes live to start the game. Once the ball becomes live, it is too late to penalize this specific infraction, and no penalty can be assessed.

I wasn't doing table operations for the game. One book had one set of five, the other book had different five listed. The official (home) book had the correct starters listed, the visiting book had 3 different personnel listed than the official book. Unfortunately, the person doing the Visitors' book was a 12-13 year old that really had no clue what he was doing.

What are they thinking?

I'm now very confused.

First, as BillyMac points out, once the game started, it's too late to assess the T. You said the T was assessed *AFTER* the tip-off. So, the officials were wrong here (if this is what happened).

Then, you say that the official book had the correct starters listed. So, there should have been no T at all.

What really happened?
