Missing Scorebook

[Stat-Man]

About 5 years ago, i was at a game at a now-closed school where the scorer took the book into the locker room at half time. I ended up being made the official book for the second half.

Four years later, we had an away game there and the exact same thing happened.

The day after that, I was at another site where the home scorer took the book into the locker room. When I told an official, he told me to mind my own business.

That is the example that the case book gives is the book going into the locker room at halftime. Says it is illegal but there is no penalty...

That brings me to another question, why have a rule if there is no penalty if broken?

If the book was simply removed from the table, then there's no penalty. Mistakes happen, not everything has to be punitive.

But if there's unsporting activity, there's a reason to penalize and you should.

I'm digging back deep on this post... What would be the thing to do if there is not a visitors score book?

I thought of this tonight as we did a game where there was not a second book
