I was not setting up anything, I was just asking a question.

You have to have a poll before you can ask a question about a petition.

Best ask the question in poll form...it's the only reliable way to get answers.

It doesn't matter. It's now too late. We have to charge you the poll tax.

Rules are rules.

And he also has to petition us to ask that question about his petition to have a poll. And when chseagle does that, then we have to have a poll as to whether we should allow that petition.

Man. Don't you just love Bobby's Rules of Order?

I thought the penalty was a week of no posting.

Even with the forms I use, I put the number in the corresponding team foul spot just for that reason.

Whever one of the teams I am involved with is on the road and the home team has had past issues with sloppy scorekeeping, I will be dilligent to a tee when it comes to verifying time outs and fouls.

Poor communcations
 

How can there be fouls given to players who were not even in the game? Also good communications between the score keepers of both teams should of prevented this. When a foul is reported talk out loud with the number of the player and the number of fouls on that player. if there is a disagreement solve the problem right then. This sounds like flat out cheating.

I used to do the scoring for my step-son's AAU team just prior to my re-entry into officiating. The most trouble I ever had with another scorer was when they were cheering, complaining about calls, and plain not paying attention. Fanboys or Fanmoms have no business at the table.

We now can call California the table incompetence Capital of the world :mad: :mad: :mad:

After the issue where we have a scorekeeper accused of potential misconduct in changing the star player's foul count from five to three we have an issue in the D1A section final.

This game according to what was officially recorded on the scoreboard ended on this buzzer beater.But in the blog it notes there was a scoring controversy in the first quarter.

The first quarter score should have been 10-9 red as based on this tape posted on YouTube.

*The team's scorekeepers each showed a score of 8-7 when the board showed 8-8.However when one of them attempted to protest they were told to be quiet or leave the arena (according to another blog).I imagine after that threat the team scorekeepers corrected their books to the board and play resumed with the period ending in a 10-10 tie.
They also went into the half tied at 22.White led by one after three.Red led by one when the video of the buzzer beater starts.

I was at this game as a fan but was not seated behind the table.I sat in the section next to white's bench so I could not tell what was being said table side.

Our state has attempted to right this wrong by setting the two up for a rematch on Thursday night in White's gym as part of the state tournament.

Just for you, BillyMac, I'm going to put one of those in my basketball bag from now on. :D

Which Sport ???
 

Good idea if you want to tee up a coach.

If they do want to set it right, you don't re-play the game. Just play the overtime that should have happened anyways.

But ya, some pretty serious errors down your way. Lesson learned: have a rep at the scorer's table and check after foul, point, and delay of game.
