A.Our playoff manual states that the official scorekeeper for ALL playoff games MUST be an Adult! Would you have asked Host AD to have her scorekeeper replaced for a playoff game by an adult? (Reason I ask-I handle Varsity books in basketball for visiting school-In Volleyball this fall I had a very good student scorekeeper who knew at the beginning she would be replaced by Me for any postseason home game!)
B.Where is the line for removing a scorekeeper for acting too much like a fan?
B1.How many table officials have you had to remove over the years?

As long as they are doing their job and not a hinderance who cares? Its one thing if they are just cheering and another if they are undermining the officials. I would only address it if that is the case or the opposition coach brings it up.
and in my 9 years only removed one scorekeeper because he started acting like a jack a$$.
