Depending on the scorer it was likely one of the following:

Boxes with a slash through them.

Boxes with an X through them

Boxes filled in.

lol Bob. Maybe the curiosity seekers could request a copy of the official scorebook from that game. Of course, if the visitors won, I would not expect a swift response. I think the slash is probably what was used, but there may not have been many fouls called. At least on the losing team.

What about the writing implement? Mechanical or wood?

A confident scorekeeper always uses ink.

This is hilarious. We can poke fun but I think it's great you take your role as table personnel seriously. Had a lady on the book for V boys Tuesday night that didn't make it to the table until after the anthem because she was "eating pizza", looked at me like I was hypnotizing her while I reported, and complained about the visiting coach being out of the box all night. I'd take csheagle at the table any night over that lady or the "I've been doing this for 20 years" guy, the "this is my first game" guy or the "can we get this over with?" guy.

I'm meaning the number of fouls called overall & how many free throw attempts did each team have.

When I was doing scorebook, I'd just put a slash through them. For the running score, I'd do the slashes except during period breaks. For the end of the 1st & 3rd quarters, I'd shade in half the box. For the end of 2nd quarter & end of game, I'd shade the whole box in.

I've seen scorekeepers change foul slashes into X's during halftime, to differentiate first half fouls, from second half fouls, which will just be slashes, just in case there is a problem down the road.

After rereading the articles about the 100-0 win in Texas, why didn't the floor officials call the game at halftime?

There seems to be some missing variables concerning the whole story.

Under which rule would they do that under? There's no mercy rule in Texas.

Very true, about having no mercy rule. How about the forfeiture due to unsporting conduct?

[APG]

No way a game will be forfeited due to a team running up the scoring. While it may not be good sportsmanship, there are no provisions to do anything about it.

Had this happen Saturday night, Home Team: 68, Visiting Team: 8.

This was a Girls' Varsity game that started out with the Visiting team getting an administrative T for having the wrong starters listed right after tip-off.

The two teams involved were: Connell Eagles (Home), & Wahluke Warriors (Visiting). Watching Wahluke play, felt like watching a 3rd/4th grade team playing as throughout the whole game they couldn't get into any established plays.

Here's what the box store shows:
Connell 68, Wahluke 8

WAHLUKE (8)

Synthia Mungia 2, Karen Salazar 2, Thelma Jimenez 2, Jessica Martinez 2, Erazo, Munoz, Soliz, Tapia, Corrales, Sanchez. Totals 3-24 2-2 8.

CONNELL (68)

Brianna Casper 18, Riner, Easterday, Wells 2, McGary 9, Gibbons 5, Whitby 6, Bjorge 8, Booker 14, Withers 6. Totals 25-65 15-23 68.

Wahluke 2 0 2 4 — 8

Connell 20 18 13 17 — 68

Highlights — Brooke Gibbons 12 rbs; Maci Whitby 6 rbs, 8 stls; Sarah McGary 4 asts; Kayla Bjorge 4 asts, 6 stls.
