Baseball teams give out as part of their programs scorecards for fans to keep track of the stats themselves (of course not everyone does that), so there's more fan participation there that keeps the fan interest in the game. My point was that (concerning cell phones & friends/acquaintances) public gatherings have turned into social gatherings to find out the latest happenings instead of all the focus being on the event itself. I know for a fact that some people just go to sporting events just to be there to be part of the crowd & to socialize. Some go to games just to watch one player, & will not watch unless that player is playing. Some go to games because they have nothing else to do. Yes, having the score posted may be important, however why should all the focus in interscholastic athletics be the score? How about just going out & doing your best whether you win or lose? Far too often in the media there's news reports about unsporting games because of what the score ended up as, where's the news reports about a game where both teams played their best & the score did not actually matter? Interscholastic athletics are supposed to be an extension of the classroom, instilling good morales & values into tomorrow's leaders, how can that be done if all anyone cares about the score?

Back to the topic at hand:
How about just using all NCAA Rules (or variations of)?

What was discussed as it applied to the table personnel was implementing shot clocks at the high school level. Some want it, some don't. I gave my reasons why I don't want it and you have gone off the deep end with it.

One problem with that is that there are 2 sets of NCAA rules, one for Women and one for Men. Which set are you suggesting the NFHS adopt?

Well since no one wants to implement the new NCAA-M 3-pt. line, NCAA-W Rules.

You don't want to keep score and play for fun, go join a rec league where that's the singular focus. At the high school level and above at the scholastic level, there's nothing wrong with being competitive and keeping score. It's the coach's, AD's, and parent's job to help keep the proper perspective for the players.
The crazy thing about those baseball games where they give out those cards...they still keep the score on the scoreboard! GASP! ![]() CHS, I can't really believe you're suggesting this seriously.

Are you going to police the fans because they are not enjoying the game in a manner that you authorize? Get over yourself.

Then again, baseball is relatively low scoring as is hockey. Just throwing out suggestions even if a bit nonsensical, to get everyone discussing.

The only way to police the fans is if they get out of control or they are taking the enjoyment of the game away from others by being disruptive.

The scoreboard sponsors won't be happy that their donation has been wasted. Had a guy in my first referee class. His name was Brad. He asked a lot of stupid questions and came up with a lot of convoluted scenarios. The instructor came up with the Brad-o-meter. He was allowed only 3 stupid comments per class and then he was patently ignored. I think there is one poster in this thread that would not have lasted 30 seconds [visible count] in that class.
