A game you never want to have

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.

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.
