Preferences for scoreboard/timer & scorebook operations

They are paid very well and for the most part do a great job.

Does anyone have a list of state associations, or officials associations, that do this?

What would be the proper procedure to suggest this to the Sate &/or Officials Associations here?

I am asking as this setup has everyone on the same page & rules/regulations. I would like to have the opportunity to do State Championship games as well, so I can broaden my experience.

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

Amen. My problems with scorers have been one of two things.
1. Distracted teenagers who have better things to do.
2. Over-zealous young adults who think they know better than the officials.

Everything else, I can work with.
