It's because it's so difficult to pry the darn cell phone out of your average teenager's hands so they have the necessary appendages free with which to operate the clock or keep the scorebook.

Why just get the teenagers involved, get some parents involved as well or other adults. Besides the aforementioned devices, the other problem with teenagers is that their friends want to be with them. |

Speaking of invitational tournaments like the T-Mobile National Invitational or the City of Palms Tournament, where teams from mulitple states are involved, what rules are used, the state association's or NFHS/Fed? |

It's cause of the one comment of loving to have a staff that's experienced that I'm trying to get the rules/regulations down even those having nothing to do with the table. |

I, for one, encourage you to continue studying and learning all you can about the rules of the game. However, be mindful of the boundaries of your duties while working the table. Just because you understand the rules does not mean that unsolicited "help" is helpful or welcome.

It's not something that happens every game. I'm doing more out of sight, out of mind when it comes to this, the last time I did anything like this was last year.

We have one school with a similar staff. Been doing it forever! As we go by the table between quarters the clock operator looks you dead in the eye and says - "Ref, white ball coming out. Switching the arrow now!" They also have a great, polite management staff to open the locker rooms, escort you, provide water - a real treat! Squared away!! As someone who works a great many levels of games, it's so refreshing and appreciative to have an excellent table crew! My favorite comment from an experienced table...... I did a Girls 7th grade game a ways back. Bad is an understatement! At the end of the first quarter the score was 0-0. The only mark on the scoreboard was the 1 for the period! No fouls, nuttin! I walked over to the table between periods and the book person looked at me and said......."I've been doing this for 25 yrs......and that's six minutes of my life I'll never get back!"
