Official Book?

Tournament host site usually supplies an offiical scorer with each team's scorer serving as unofficial scorers.

Although in a regional final here last year, the officials declared the home designated team's book official and not the neutral host site's book.

I have kept the scorebook in this situation and yes it occurs in tournament games when 1-Official scorer 2@3 are the books of the 2 teams playing (if the host team is playing then there are 2 books) It requires good communications by the official scorer ( when a foul is reported he will notify the other scorers foul is on white 33 and they acknowledge it, same with time outs) This usually keeps everyone on the same page and it keeps you on your toes.
