From what I've read on here, I would bet that tjones has already done that.

Ya'll heard about some less-than-qualified table crews that I had in my past.

Was assigned to the final two years in a row in this one particular tournament; age level = 17 year olds (maybe some 18 - not sure). The TD did something very unusual: he delayed the start of the game by 5 minutes because the person he wanted to scorekeep the game was en route from another tournament venue.

My point is that yes, there are some scorekeepers that take their job seriously. I think scorekeeping comes more naturally to them.

much like local officials associations in various parts of the country, the state of Wisconsin actual has an Officials Scorers Association. They wear black jackets with their association patches (similar to the jackets we all wear during pre-game) to games and are GREAT to have on your games. Since I've only worked college games in WI, I can only assume that they also work HS games, but others on this forum from WI probably can shed some light on that....

If you know this association's website please post it on this board or email it to me at [email protected]!

I make it a point to not only carry a rule book with me to the table, but to also keep a seperate tally of Timeouts remaining because the coaches can get quite firey about their timeout count.
