Calling All Table Officials

[BillyMac]

After the scorer didn't tell me that we were in the bonus, which almost led to a correctable error situation, I asked her why she didn't tell me, to which she proclaimed, "It was on the scoreboard".

After the same scorer, in the same game, didn't tell me that a player fouled out, which led to a timeout/no timeout exchange with a coach, I asked her why she didn't tell me, to which she proclaimed, "It was on the scoreboard".

This was an adult, not a student.

One of them would have done his job. One of them would have notified the coach, started the 20 seconds and notified the player.

I feel your pain BillyMac,
I don't understand what is so hard about putting five fingers in the air and asking the clock operator to hit the horn.My student scorekeepers know enough to get the referees attention when a kid fouls out or we reach the bonus.Its ridiculous when an adult does not.
