I agree. No one has ever told me to do this but I've got nothing else really going on at this time so if I can help make a cleaner start to the game I think it is worth while.

Happened to me yesterday.
The official scorer missed a name while transcribing from the visiting teams book. The numbers were off. Glad I caught it so that we didn't have to deal with it later.

While it's definitely better to catch it sooner than later, this would not have been a T later, either.
