Use the following link; go to Section VII, G "Rules of Play", #4 (pg 7) - This is the "Terms & Conditions" document from the IHSA regarding the state tournament.

This specifically states what I have mentioned above. As I've stated before, most officials I've talked to don't know of this requirement and do not implement this practice during the state tournament.

Hopefully that clears this up. As others have said before, I do not believe there is a FED rule/requirement to sign the score book at any time.

You don't sign your name to anything for ratings. You just give both coaches your name and number before the game. I don't know of anything in Illinois asking for a signature at the end of the game except for volleyball. You do sign the official scorekeeper's book at the end of a game in volleyball. I can't remember if you do in Indiana or not.
