And, of course, there does not seem to be a penalty for a violation.

Don't you have an officials' manual that details various mechanics for you to use during game play? Are all those things in the rule book? That's all this publication is, a reference for the duties of the scorekeeper.

Somebody needs to stay with the book that is required to stay at the table so that its integrity isn't compromised. There's nothing more to it than that.
