Make eye contact with the official scorer and confirm that everything is okay with the book before leaving. You know that little responsibility that the R has at the end of each half of play to verify the score.

Why do you have to make eye contact with the scorer? Isn't the score approved when you run off the court?

1. That doesn't take long enough to slow me down.
2. When you're the U, do you bail on your R?

Most games there's a timeout near the end of the game where I can verify the score, etc. Then on the way off, I can (while moving) just look towards the table with a thumb up and get a quick signal. It doesn't slow me down a bit.
