Game 1: Correctable Error
That's right... one game into the season we had a correctable error. I blame myself as I was fairly sure it was #7 but after I reported and I checked they said no it was #6. I gave the green light to my partner, they pass it in, table starts saying it's #7. I kill it... we correct it and move on... blah.

Someone just dig a deep, deep hole and bury me in it....going to be a long season.

Always good to get the one for the season out of the way early

How is that your fault? The table crew provided you with incorrect information. What are you supposed to do--have a scorebook in your pocket? You can't do their entire job for them.

I wouldn't feel a bit bad about this.

Hey! Don't give the NFHS any ideas.

It's also good if it's the easiest possible fix and/or explanation of any correctable error situation. Just line 'em up and shoot.

It would be a bit harder to explain if they scored a basket before the error was recognized (I mean in NFHS).

Tom,
Would you rather have it happen in the first game of the season, or the last?
