This is for myself working only ASA Slowpitch. I check the books (if anyone is even keeping one) after each half inning also and write it on my lineup card or in some leagues they provide a scorecard to keep. This avoids confusion and arguments later in the game when someone says 'We scored 3 in the 2nd', 'No you didn't you only got 2'. If I don't keep it then how could I settle the dispute? For most of the leagues and tournaments I have worked there isn't an official scorekeeper, what I turn in as the score is official. Sorry but my memory isn't good enough to to keep track of the score in my head. Sometimes neither team will even keep a book, then I have to quickly record runs right after the play ends.
