I haven't had a problem here in Indiana yet, but I understand that by typing that I have just jinxed myself and every game here on out will feature scorers without them.

Doesn't Ontario use FIBA rules?
Does FIBA also require a striped shirt for the official scorer?

No. High schools in Ontario use NFHS. Everything else ( club/rep teams, college, and university ) play FIBA rules.

FIBA does not require a striped shirt.

Thanks for the clarification. I had thought I heard something some time ago that there was a push to play all Canadian basketball under FIBA rules. Apparently, that was either incorrect or didn't happen.

There was a push towards it. Unfortunately Ontario high schools balked at it. Too cheap to spring for shot clocks. Hopefully soon. I get sick of having to know 2 sets of rules and 3 sets of mechanics ( IAABO, FIBA 2 and 3 official)

At least we are down to two sets of rules now. Community Colleges used to play NCAA rules.
