It really is a silly mistake, though. The moderator/scorekeeper
tends to place the wrong name to a face or forgets how s/he listed
people on the scoresheet (which is what I'm guessing happened in my
team's case at Penn Bowl, though it's not the first time). This
mistake could easily be corrected by checking individual scores at
the end of the game as team scores are.
