Pregames
I remember from reading in the officials manual that the officials do a pregame conference to try to be on the same page. Should the table crew do something similar?
How often is the table crew actually involved in pregame conferences?

I have a quick meeting with the table crew each time I am the R on a game and while I am signing the books. I think it is a vital vital part of the game as they (table crew) can make you look really bad or look really good if something strange happens. IMO, table crews make or break an officiating crew.

Most of the time, when the officials do the pregame with the table crew, the questions are: "do both books match with their lineups?", For the Scorebaord/Timer "Do you have any questions concerning when to start &/or stop the clock?" I know there are other questions asked, but can't remember them all.

Just FYI, you're going to have a tough time getting a very informed and interested opinion on the table crew from a bunch of people who don't normall work on a table crew.
It's like asking all of us if we think the coaches should have a pre-game meeting to discuss strategy, etc. How would I know? I'm not a coach. |

They ask 1. Done this before? 2. Any questions? They may add that we need to inform the players to wait until beckoned when subbing in. That's about it. As a timer, I will usually say to the scorers that I will be checking frequently with them to make sure we're in agreement. The scorer I work with is so good, I would pay her to come do my games. |

And she's a pretty good scorekeeper too right?

I'm meaning how she does the book. nothing else.
She does a running score using the margins of the book, for one.

The book she uses doesn't have one already? I've never seen a book that doesn't have one.

(example: 0-0, 2-0, 2-1, 2-3) She uses the running score up top as well but she keeps track of the overall running score as well for leads, ties, etc.

I have no idea exactly why she does it. Probably so that the coach can keep closer track of the score while watching game film.
Next game, if I get the chance I'll ask her.
