Wrong time on clock, what would you do?

We had almost this exact scenario occur at A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP game two or three years ago. Single overtime, table put 5:00 on the clock, officials tipped off and not a single person noticed including Administrators, Directors, Assoc. Directors and every other possible honcho from the Florida High School Athletic Assn.

Someone from the next crew scheduled to work noticed and pointed it out to the officials working the game with about 2:30 remaining. They continued and it played out with a 5:00 overtime. Needless to say, that was the last state tournament game for that crew. Major embarassment for the state officials as well.
