With respect to scorekeepers at the MS level and below, remember that many leagues, school districts, etc. claim to follow NF rules, but have their own arrangements for how scorekeeping and timing will be done. Therefore, although NF has rules that govern these functions, they are frequently not applicable for 7th graders. This is a league level issue, not one you will necessarily be able to handle, especially at game time.
Also, scorers in these games are notoriously bad inexperienced. A good ref keeps a close eye on what happens at the table. It is especially important to follow good reporting mechanics and make eye contact with your scorekeepers. I have worked table at many MS games, and there are those of you who call out fouls from the baseline with players milling between you and the table, then go straight to inbound the ball without seeming to know or care if the table got it right.
