That being said, I've never personally had to go back and check a book. Hmm....

I'm a little hazy on the details because this was a few years ago, but two of the problems were that I was delayed in getting the names into the book for some reason (through no fault of the coach from the visiting school) and didn't have all the names in when the official came to check the book at the 10:00 minute mark.

The other problem was that the visiting team's roster had 18 or 19 players, more names than I had spaces for. I skipped a player's name and number while hurrying to get the names in the book and squeezing some of them into the available spaces. Because of the number of players, even if the official wanted to draw a line under the name of the last player, there wouldn't have been anyplace to put it.
