Fix this?

Our scoring personnel often make mistakes as they are volunteer parents or high school brothers or sisters of players. It is something that our officials really have to watch because the parents are all over scoring mistakes, especially when it involves a score by their kid. We fix ASAP.

You certainly got that right. And it's not just a murmur through the crowd, it's parents screaming at the officials, coaches, and table, with absolutely no lag time. They scream louder at a scoreboard mistake than they do at a supposedly botched block/charge call.

I won't stop the game just because parents are screaming about the score. As noted earlier, if it's an end-of game situation, I will stop immediately. If not, I'm going to wait until the next whistle or run by the table and try to do it verbally on the fly.

Screaming parents don't affect how I deal with this for a variety of reasons.

Agree, but, at least, the screams get our attention.
