Unless the results are on a pink carbon copy handed directly to you from the head scorer, they are considered "unofficial".  For example, any results posted to the internet are unofficial, as you are looking at a computer generated representation of the offical results.  The visual representation could potentially contain errors.  Same deal with the weekly handouts at the track - they too are "unofficial" as they do not come directly from an official - they are simply copies of those official results which could potentially contain errors.

I know you were just being smart, but I thought I would take the opportunity to do some educating. ;D  Some people wonder about the "unofficial" thing.  Now you know! 🙂

Me, smart? I'm only about as smart as my avatar is handsome.

Nice to know what it all means though.
