My bad.....had a blank spot. I didn't associate the arrow with bookkeeping.

Yes, I did it just this year, actually. The school got a new scoreboard and they were proud of it, understandably. They wanted to use all the bells and whistles. Fine. But they didn't have the old arrow at the table. I firmly requested that they dig it out of the closet and put it on the table. And they did.

Come on!! The best part of this story is that he referred to switching the arrow as "flipping the bird"!! :D

There's a big difference between keeping the arrow in your head in a HS or college game, and keeping track of the 43 tie ups in a 6th grade girl's game . . . .
