This RS is in desperate need of being updated. Electronic scorebooks were nothing more than software applications on devices like the Pocket PC, Palm, Clie, or other Personal Digital Assistants that were around 15-20 years ago. Nobody nowadays has a true electronic scorebook that isn't resident on a communications device. The RS should simply say that electronic devices on the field and in the dugouts may be used for coaching and scorekeeping purposes only, and cannot be used to communicate or record game action.
