iPads officially illegal:NCAA ruling

Billy, I think bob understands the concept, but part of the benefit of the older system is having that division of responsibility and inherent redundancy.

The school that wants to use this application lost a game last year due to an error involving the home scorebook (they were the home team) and the visible scoreboard. Supposedly, this application would avoid this type of error.

Such errors would only be avoided if there were two or more people entering the events independently such that the system compared the records and flagged the discrepancy the moment it occurred.

Having the two elements (board and book) controlled from a unified entry system would only ensure that they agreed....not that they were correct.
