Oops, I misspelled "shut up."

Or as my son used to say when he was about 12 years old, "I don't have to say anything. It's in the Constitution." :)

He's the official scorekeeper of the CHS Eagles baseball team. Check him out on the Baseball forum. His favorite situation is players batting out of order.

Boy, it's a good thing the metric system isn't prevalent in the land of Steady Habits, Billy. :D

The Daktronics scoreboards in use this past weekend, automatically added both the player fouls & team fouls in for us after pressing the corresponding buttons. Also the All-American Scoreboard in use at CHS has a time out timer that if it's used during the game, freezes the scoreboard until the timer reaches 0 nor are the warning horns automatically sounded. (For time outs & intermissions we have to use a stopwatch).The Daktronics scoreboards we used had the Time Out & Intermission timers as well as the time outs left listed on the scoreboard. The time out timer would count down & at 15 sec. left in the time out would automatically sound the warning horn. The same would happen at the end of the time-out. However, if the teams were ready to start play earlier we could cancel the time out timer easily & continue play.
Wouldn't this be more pertinent on the Scoreboard Forum?

Hate 'Em ...
 
I can't stand scoreboards that have the home team on the right side. We have just a few in our area and they drive me nuts.

Very funny show. I normally don't like situation comedies. I'm more of an hour long police, lawyer, or medical drama kind of guy.

Why would anyone prefer the scoreboard which shows less information?

Why would officials care about more information?:confused: Whatintheheck do we really care about things like which player has scored how many points?

We've been told to ignore the possession arrow on the scoreboard. If there's a question about the alternating possession, we use the arrow at the table, the summary in the home scorebook, or try to remember what it should be (we have to keep alternating whistles in our pockets), but we never use the arrow on the scoreboard.

More information, more chance for errors. And, somehow, some coach (or player or fan) will "blame" us if the information is incorrect, even though we don't put it there, verify it, or rely on it.

It amuses me during timeouts. :D

We had one of those fancy scoreboards Monday night and I noticed a few times that the person working the board was slow getting team fouls up on the board. The more geegaws they put on those boards, the harder it is for the (sometimes) already-challenged timer to do his/her job.

I worked the clock once. It's definitely not a non-skilled job if you actually plan on doing it right.

And especially so if you're doing a game out in East Podunk and you've got a 15-year old girl armed with a blackberry working the scoreboard......:eek:
