I didn't start this thread to cause a war to break out!! The penalties I was reffering to are those that the SO gives but doesn't tell the shooter he did. I just wanted to know what others thought about this practice. I'm not surprised that no one thinks it's right, I certainly don't but I just wanted to make sure.

As far as giving penalties in the stat shack I don't see how that is justified either. The stats officer can't complete a scoresheet whether it's missing hits or penalties imnsho. If the SO misses something either way it's just the way it goes.
