This would make a great experiment. I would take it a step further. Suppose we play a boys varsity game with no scoreboard, and no announcement of anything. The kids would just play, and the score announced at the end of the game. I realize the score is the most important thing, so perhaps it is announced at the end of each quarter? Either way, the table keeps track of everything but does not report anything. The coaches (and crowd) only know when they are in the bonus which might cut down on "we have more fouls than they do!" complaints. I understand someone could write this down, but lets presume that the only people writing down the info would be the home and away scorekeeper. How cool would that be! Guys just going out and playing hard without worrying about all that stuff.
