What is a scoreboard? A person who keeps track of runs is a scorekeeper, not an umpire.

So yeah, with each runner that crosses the plate, I use the Innings (AKA - Hot Moms) wheel to keep track of the runs. After all, it goes from 0 to 9, just like our base-10 mathematics. We've complained over and over again to the organizers of the league, but they don't seem to do anything about it. Well, they did remove the TV...
Then maybe you shouldn't be doing someone else's job.
