There's an exception in the NFHS rule code?

Maybe my situation isn't the norm. For a lot of summer ball there is only one person at the table. They try to get a 2nd, but it's often 2x more work for me and I gave up and just tracked everything myself.

Nope

It could be a tournament or it could be something a state does not care about to penalize as long as the teams are contrasting. I have heard of all kinds of things states do not enforce from the rules of the NF. No big deal if you ask me.

The New Gray ...
 

We have a tradition, here in Connecticut, that private prep schools (modified hybrid NFHS/NCAA rules) wear white on the road, and dark at home.

I always takes me a few minutes to figure out who is who in regard to team fouls on the scoreboard.

Team Fouls ??? What Do You Mean By Team Fouls ???
 

The Catholic middle school league that I occasionally work has a policy that the table does not keep track of the arrow. We're lucky if they keep the correct score on the scoreboard, remember to turn the clock on, and off, properly, and keep track of team fouls. Officials are required to keep track of the arrow. It's in our contract.

you need someone with backbone to rewrite your contract.

It's Like Stealing Money ...
 

We're already stealing money. $86.00 for an Catholic middle school eighth grade girl/boy doubleheader; seven minute periods; in, and out, in about two hours; all games close to home. Last season we were asked to email the scores to the league webmaster after the game. For $86.00? No problem.

Yeah, I can see that. Disregard my previous post.

Hmmmm. I guess we have a better negotiator. We get $90 for a middle school doubleheader, we have arrows at the table, and we don't have to send anyone the scores. :D:D:D:D:D:D

Perks ...
 

Eat free at the concession stands?

No More Hanging Around The Table After The Game ...
 

New Catholic middle school assigner this season. Still no arrow at the table, but we don't have to send in the scores. Also a pay increase for "junior varsity" (fifth, and sixth grade) games. $86.00 for three games (six minute periods). He must have held out for a better deal during negotiations in a smoke filled back room.

Uncle Moneybags ...
 

The check that I got was a mistake.

Our new fee is $105.00 for three games (six minute periods). An extra $19.00.

Now I can afford a villa in Tuscany.

If you guys are ever in central Italy, be sure to look me up.

I do exactly that too.
An arrow at the table is required by rule. If you don't have one, then create one from a water bottle or towel or something.
I don't know where you officiate, but I have a hard time grasping that HS games would be conducted without the required equipment, such as a visible clock, scoreboard, arrow, nets, etc.

I think (I hope) that all of us at least have a tendency to look to be sure that the arrow is initially set right and that it is switched when it is appropriate to do so. The wild card in this is that occasionally the arrow is switched when it shouldn't have been. "Oh, I thought y'all called a jump ball." If this can be easily sorted out because it happened 30 seconds ago, I'll try to do it. But I'm not gonna use the whistle in the pocket or any other attempt to keep up with the arrow on my own in a varsity game situation. It is, by rule, the responsibility of the scorer to keep the possession arrow, and if we do have a conflict, I see nothing which gives an official the authority to overrule the arrow at the table.
