OK, I see where you're coming from. Now how do you stop the same scorer from making the exact same mistake when he's supposed to tell you that a player has 4 fouls?
What's the difference between having the scorer tell you when a player has four fouls versus having the scorer tell you when the player has five fouls if they're not going to do so correctly in
both cases? In both cases, if they screw-up, you'll still have to straighten it out. A scorer who forgets to tell you when a player has five fouls is just as likely imo to forget to tell you when a player has four fouls.
And....... if they don't screw-up, then you don't need the information at four.
The only foolproof method imo is to mentally keep track of every foul committed by every player of both teams. Well, I certainly ain't that smart. I'll leave it up to the scorer and hope that they get it right.
Btw, just for the record I've never figured out how to stop timing errors either.
