When I have numbers already from MaxPreps or another source then I have that team's scorer verify that the numbers are correct and if an issue arises I ask the coach myself for correct information. While doing this I give the opposing scorekeeper a copy of our roster.
I have a sheet with all 4 of our CYO team lineups printed off. That way all I have to do is tell opposing scorers of any scratches or last-second changes.

Now that our league season (double round-robin) has completed the first half of the schedule, I will be giving the opposing scorer their roster from our first meeting and have them give me any changes since the last time.

I also wish teams would prepare their rosters numerically. When I am transferring an opponent's roster that is in random order, I always worry I'll miss someone or make an error, even after I've re-matched everythign up to make sure.
