First I point out that there was no correction, or attempt to correct- at 
the time or at any time.

Second, I point out that that there is direction to L25A.  Which explicitly 
states that "...his last call stands..."  Clearly, if the player has made 
only one call at the time of arrival of the TD, that call stands.
