A foul on White 23 gets "typed" into the digital scorebook, White Team gets a a foul added to their team fouls on the visible scoreboard.

Our interpreter has been asked to review the logistics of this application to make sure that it complies with the NFHS rules.

One of the schools that wants to use this application lost a game last year due to an error involving the home scorebook and the visible scoreboard. Supposedly, this application would avoid this type of error.
