To me, it tells me we're getting close, but I generally know that anyway.

Eh, I trust the boards for the most part. The numbers I care about are 6 and 9. I'll take a glance at it before we put the ball back in play -- by then the board has usually been updated and then I'll signal the partner(s).

The number of good scorers who are holding up 1 and 1 or 2 as I'm reporting the 7th or 10th foul (as we used to ALWAYS get), well, I could count them this season on one hand. But they are pretty good about keeping the boards accurate around here.

I put the PA announcer who announces the foul before I report it in the same category, BTW. Annoying.
