This is why you need a good pregame with the table. If you have a good pregame and discuss these possible situations, you can make them feel confrontable to tell you when a possible mistake can take place or ask them before a mistake is made. It is also important that you just ask the table when you feel you are getting close. Not all scoreboards will have the number of fouls on them, but you can make sure by asking. Good prevenative officiating can eliminate some of these problems. But we also are not the scorekeeper or timer. But this is also why both scorekeepers should sit together too.
