Almost all of my middle school games don't have team fouls on scoreboards, and many have student timekeepers and/or scorekeepers. Pregame, I always advise both coaches to let officials know if they even think that we're close to seven team fouls, and that I don't ever mind a friendly, "One and one", reminder from either coach.
And while I don't actually keep an accurate running count in my head, when my spider sense starts to tingle, I don't hesitate to ask the table how many team fouls there are. Usual answer is five, or six. Better to be safe than sorry.
