Players not in book

[SCalScoreKeeper]

This is easily preventable by the official scorer-had this scenario in a JVG game two weeks ago:

On varsity my policy is to carry copies of each teams roster in my notebook.Upon arrival of visiting teams I have the coaches verify the roster and make corrections if needed.The only corrections I had this year were injury/illness scratches.My rosters and starters for girls games are in well before the start of the warm-up clock.Boys coaches don't show up until 3'rd quarter of girls game so I usually need about 6 minutes to get the rosters/starters verified and in.

On JV I just copy the previously submitted roster for league teams.If dealing with an out of league opponent I copy their book.Regardless of level I will always ask a coach to verify their roster and then get their starters.

*In this scenario I copied the roster from the previous game (league opponent) and asked the V head coach to verify # and names are correct.She did and midway thru the first quarter we had a problem.After an offensive rebound and basket by V timeout was called by H and as I went to give the V shooter her points the number wasn't in the book.Called the R over and told him the scenario.R brings coach over and asked her if I had asked her to verify the roster-she says yes and R gives her a T for changing a number.Kid wore #11 the first time (their home game) and #42 this time (our home game)-checked remaining numbers and everything was good.
