It's just about impossible for a Scorekeeper to display the wrong score. The scorekeeper doesn't enter laps or hurdles, they are done automatically based on counters and the data entry pads held by the referees. The only time the scorekeeper actually changes the scoring is by entering the number of penalties and G14 bonus scores at the end of the match, or by entering corrections to the lap scores (which the refs give to the scorekeeper). In this year's game, there is no scoring actually done by the scorekeepers. So, "putting the final score up" incorrectly can only be done if the scorekeepers don't wait for adjustments from the referees before pushing the "commit score" button. This would only happen once! Not to be a "blame them" kind of person, but in "Overdrive" any scoring mistakes would most likely be with the refs or the electronics, since the scorekeepers would have to really, really try to display any score other than what the refs intended.
