Speaking ASA JO FP, but I always sync the two scorebooks at the half inning. Since we are nearly always dealing with parent scorekeepers, it prevents brouhahas late in the game. Go first one & ask RUNS? Then to the other. Then write it on my card. For most tournaments, my card is official. Quick & simple.

With NFHS games, I inform the home scorekeeper that they are official and had better be on their toes. Even so, I will sync the books every couple of innings or so. Go to home & ask something like "Bottom of 3, 2-1, right?" Then same question to visitors. Again, to limit possibility of disputes after memories of the action have faded. I don't write the score on my card with NFHS. That is the home scorekeepers responsiblity.
