This concept might be tough to get but it's the way it is, the way it has been, and the way it will be for the foreseeable future. If you think the book is incompetent then get someone else to do it, but for christ's sake don't disregard the book simply because you feel as though the clock operator is more reliable. If that's the case then switch the 2 and deal with a spotty clock operator.

Deecee,
I'm talking from experience as both a scorer & a timer concerning reliability. I am speaking from experience as a member of the table crew, not as a floor official. Not always will there be other personnel available to do the scorebook due to the inability to remain neutral at the table, or able to follow through with the scorer's duties/responsibilities.
