It was bad enough I had to go there for my first job; can't imagine going there for school. And while you're geography is close, it's not quite perfect.

I'm spoiled, I guess. Every school in the area has team fouls on the board. It's considered part of the minimum level of information. I have yet to work a HS baseball game without a scoreboard, too.

I did have a first this season. Working a juco mens game, I was told they had no arrow for the table. Rather than get into a pissing match over an arrow in a gym with about 25 spectators and two teams that seemed to be treating the whole thing like organized rec ball, I simply told the crew we would have to remember the arrow. We did.

I had a difficult time coming up with an actual distance since the school district includes 14 towns.

I guess I shouldn't say anything. My district went from Meservey-Thornton to Sheffield-Chapin/Meservey-Thornton, and has now added Rockwell-Swaledale and is called West Fork.

CMB is much simpler. I used to know all the acronyms for the small schools.
