Details,Details,Details!

Varsity scorers like officials are supposed to be the best of the best! This means knowing the kids names (First and Last) and numbers for the team(s) that you are scoring for. In order to keep this from happening to me I did what was suggested in one of the replies and have been typing out the varsity rosters (I work both boys and girls varsity!). That way all I have to do is give a copy of the appropriate roster to our opponent's scorekeeper. This could have been caught in pre-game if the home scorer had made just a little extra effort. All he/she had to do was ask the visiting coach to verify that all information was correct on the paper. If it was wrong then visiting HC could make the corrections.
It also means dressing and conducting ourselves in a professional manner! I take my job seriously from dress (Golf shirt with school's name/slacks or tie/slacks) to how I handle a game (cell phone on silent and in my bag, communication with fellow table officials & floor officials).
