Maybe there should be a Scorekeeping Forum?

Either the AD or another designated person

I whole-heartedly agree with your thinking.

I noticed last year during the one game that I was Varsity timer/scoreboard that the table was really on the ball on things getting done. However the times I have done varsity shot clock, there is a bit of lag time from reporting to posting of fouls on the board to making sure everyone's information was the same.

Everyone involved in the game needs to be held accountable, not just those on the court.

We don't allow students to play if they are academically (or otherwise)ineligible-if they do that school needs to forefeit immediately.Why should we allow a school to host home games if their support team is not up to the task? What I propose-as highly unlikely as it is-if adopted makes schools accountable for the actions of their table crews.

Can we take up a collection to sponsor a webhosting package for them, somewhere on an interweb far, far away?

Hmmm, shouldn't we be trying to keep our friends close and our enemies even closer?

I thought that the enemy to any official was a coach or another person that argued every single call?

You can add to that anybody that works on the table crew and doesn't know sh!t but tries to tell us how to do our job anyway.

Or anybody who works on the table crew but isn't actually willing or able to do the job and who forces the officials on the floor to constantly check up on them.
