If we knew for certain only 4 fouls - what happens to the extra team foul?

1. Review the video tape
2. Ask the fans for a vote.
3. Ask the radio guy to review his book, noi Radio/TV has ever lost a game or made a mistake.

That's funny you say that 'cause that's what the visiting coach asked us to do.

All three books could support the scores with the running score. The home team book was being kept by a frumpy high school kid, the visiting team book was being kept by Billy Bubba in a John Deere cap, The clock/scoreboard was being run by a teacher whom, until the night before, had never done it, and the official book was being kept by a midle aged woman who appeared alert and intelligent. That's what I had to go on.

Sounds like the home team doesn't care about really keeping score.

Sounds like some games around here where I live.

What game did the person do the night before?

Interesting that there were 3 scorebooks, instead of just two. At least you had 1 reliable person keeping score (official scorer).

Which scorebook gave you the best attention when it came to reporting fouls & granting timeouts?
