All three books could support the scores with the running score. The home team book was being kept by a frumpy high school kid, the visiting team book was being kept by Billy Bubba in a John Deere cap, The clock/scoreboard was being run by a teacher whom, until the night before, had never done it, and the official book was being kept by a midle aged woman who appeared alert and intelligent. That's what I had to go on.
Sounds like the home team doesn't care about really keeping score.

Sounds like some games around here where I live.

What game did the person do the night before?

Interesting that there were 3 scorebooks, instead of just two. At least you had 1 reliable person keeping score (official scorer).

Which scorebook gave you the best attention when it came to reporting fouls & granting timeouts?
