Certainly more than one. It is very common among scorers. They always want to strike non-present players. I would say that in about a third of my games I tell a scorer it's not necessary to scratch out a non-present player. I do work exclusively sub-varsity, so perhaps that's a factor.
The referees who want to scratch players tend to be old-timers or older new referees with the "that's how it was done when I played" mind set.
