I dont really count the runs as they score (basically I dont trust my count).. but at the end of every half inning where there were scores, or if i've forgotten, I ask the scorer how many runs score and write it on the back of a line up where I track it. The rec league I work has gotten used to this habit of mine so they just tell me when they see me reaching for my book.

Its an obsessive thing I do others may or may not do.. i've only known a few umps who do it, and a few who have even advised me not to do it.. but it has come in handy numerous times so i will keep on doing it.. Only takes a few seconds.
