Last night one of the teams went back to the locker room before the 12:00 minute mark. I went to the table at 10:00 and official scorekeeper (neutral site) informs me the visiting team didn't mark its starters. No problem; ask coach to supply starters and he does so right away. Go back to my pre-game position. At around the 2:30 mark one of my partners reminds me we haven't done the captains yet. Sh!t, I had forgot all about that. Grab the captains real quick. Luckily my captains meetings only last about 20 seconds, including all the hand-shaking/fist pounding.
