Pat--
I think the first choice would be to switch leagues as others have recommended. If that's not possible right now, for whatever reason, you might think about getting a pal to come along with you and keep a more official book.
But with regard to the specific situation where you aren't sure how many fouls someone has, I think this could be a learning experience for you. At the high school level, we all try to keep some vague notion in our heads about which players are in "foul trouble". This is your chance to learn to do this. Especially in games where players know they aren't being tracked, there are going to be a lot more fouls. Practicing keeping it sorted out, keeping track of who's just playing rough in general, and who's honest and who's not, in a particular game, would be a good way to develop this sense. Have a friend keep a book, and check in from time to time to see how you're doing.
If you have any influence at all, you might talk to the league board about changing the rules. Not keeping track of personal fouls is a great way for players to develop very bad habits that will hurt their progress in hs and college.
