(Well, that's not quite true. Once, the H scorer buzzed me to the table in the middle of the first quarter to point out that the V scorer wasn't sitting next to him. I made the scorers moved. Since it took a while, I gave the teams an officials time out.)

Since it needs to be redone anyway, I'd suggest a wooden "X" painted gold on one side and purple on the other. Then, cut "X"s into the floor all along the scorer's table and place the wooden insert into the appropriate slot on the floor. The others could be filled with the cutouts that match the floor. IT would look pretty sharp and give you the flexibility you need.

Then don't let them in. Especially if it's the visitors. They haven't PROPERLY reported.




That sounds good, but what if the scorer then doesn't sit right behind the "X" (or you move the scorer, or the officials decide to make the V book the official book)?

Get another appointment and suggest it before they begin the work.

For clarification right now, the taped "X", which was removed after Rookiedude's game, but was replaced the next game by CHSLadyEagle & I, is placed right at the center of the table.

Like in the case of the official scorer being next to the home bench, instead of sitting in the middle of the table.

Dude, you've got to let this go. The two can talk to each other even if there's someone in between them. It's not that hard.

2 people between them (timer & shot clock), for the Sub-V games the scorebooks seem to only communicate if they didn't know who scored or who the foul was on. Other than that very tight-lipped.

As long as the scorer is close enough to change the arrow, then the scorer is close enough to the visitor scorer to communicate.
