Could be a regional thing. I've been taught to never accept the visitor's book, nor the home's book. Figure out what happened with the official score book. Maybe some further info could be learned from the visiting team or the home team, but I'm not accepting their book as anything near gospel.

As for using the individual scoring, I'm hesitant, but I suppose I won't rule it out. Nowadays, I ask to please cross of the running total first. If they know who it was that scored *and* have time to write it down, then that is a bonus for the coaches.

Edit: added "not".
