What do you do when the "official scorekeeper" is probably a high school kid recruited to work a middle school tournament and there is no way for you to have some one sit at the table next to him?

We always check the book at halftime and did in this game with it being correct when we checked it. However, after we checked it the home team coach took the "official book" from the table to her bench area. Next thing we know, halfway thru the 3rd quarter, our best player suddenly has 5 fouls when she should have 4. We try to get the officials come to the table to straighten -- what we think is a problem -- out, but with no help. Further, the scorer's table simply tells us to leave them alone and is not interested in whether there might have been a mistake. A check during the break at the quarter shows, according to our book, the the official scorer gave our player (#10) and foul that should have been given to #1. The table still wasn't interested in talking to us and said, "you're winning the game, why do you care."

My main complaint was, one, the officials showed no interest, and two, the table never seemed interested. Any suggestions?
