Call out changes/subs or wander around tracking people?

Sounds like a standard to me. Am I missing something?

Yes, not all games have an official scorer INCLUDING nationals at certain locations. I've never seen an official scorere at a state or regional tournament. Every place does it a little differently.

SteveM, tell them who kept the score and clock at your national.

Wow! That's amazing! I understand when there is no official scorer we do what we have to do, but to say ASA doesn't have a standard, isn't exactly correct either. That's what I was getting at.

I did not say there wasn't a standard, but that doesn't mean it is always met.

The author of this thread did and that was who I was referring to when I say that there is a standard. I agree it is not always met, but there is a rule to go by when we have an official scorer.

Why, it was the plate umpire - so it was entirely proper to record the change on the lineup card and then notify the head coach of the other team.
