I don't know what level or how old the scorer was, but some latitude needs to be taken at the lower level.

I'm 13 years old, and I'm bookkeeping high school varsity. I am just as skilled, if not more so, then some others....

Matthew, I'm glad to see you stick up for your competency and in a rather polite manner. While I didn't make the statement you're objecting to, I read it differently than I think you did.
As a ref I don't worry (too much) about the age of people at the table. I recognize that, if at all possible, there are competent people doing varsity games. The statement "at the lower level" refers to the level of the game. If I'm doing a Junior High game, there may be a very mature adult at the table, but there is a good chance they have no clue what to do, especially with unusual situations. Same is true for a Frosh game, and maybe a JV game.
I perceive you take pride in your work. GREAT!! Stay with it and maybe someday we'll see you court-side for the NBA games.
