I've learned some things from her on how the table runs smoothly during games. I am doing what I can to slowly build up to doing Varsity contests as scoreboard/timer.

One of the reasonings behind doing the WIAA 4A Regionals last year, was that I had as a reference the AD who has seen/watched me work scoreboard/timer during the JV & C-Squad games. Also my knowing the facilities that were being used helped a bit, as well as my never give up/can do attitude.

During some of the JV & C-Squad games, I've had to wear multiple hats at once, Scoreboard/timer & crowd control at the same time.

Tadams, I've had a few of the floor officials actually mention it to me, that they prefer working with me cause of how I handle things at the table, & my professionalism. The person that does handle the Varsity Scoreboard/Timer has either a written or verbal agreement with the School Board or the School Board decided that since she likes kissing up that she should remain in the position.

I may have experience, but I'm also wanting to learn more. Like I mentioned in earlier postings, I have copies with me of the Instructions to Scorers & Timers with me, in case I do get jammed up somehow. I also am asking the floor officials questions if I do not understand something, or misinterpret.

Your performance / knowledge is only part of the equation. The other is your attitude and personality. Based on your posts here (and not just in this thread), I'd say you have a long way to go in this area.

One preference that I do have is that the scorekeeper and/or timer not think they know the rules better than we do.
