If something unfortunate happens to one of the teams because they either don't provide a scorer or don't have that person sit where he/she can compare records with the other scorer, then that is their fault. The game officials cannot worry about things beyond their control.

I understand only one scorer is required, but if they have two, so be it.
I don't "force" them to move - I say, "I would appreciate if you two would sit next to each other," and explain why.
I don't consider asking the two scorers to sit next to each other politely as being "beyond my control." We are all one team. I have never had anyone say no yet.
And yes, I do accept mistakes can and will happen.
