In our midweek league, you supply a scorer. If you don't, you field with 10men and a fielder scores.
In our sat league, it's not a required thing, we have a full time scorer that is paid 15 a game. What got annoying was when the opposition didn't have a scorer, they wouldn't even score during there innings. Just leave our scorer to do the lot.
Thankfully our league have bought in a new rule. If you don't supply a scorer, you still have to pay the opposition scorer a tenner for doing the job.
Boom, I bet the teams who didn't have a scorer last year will have one this.
As for discrepencies, both leagues say this. "The end result is the correct result, regardless of score book mistakes." Constant scorebook mistakes can be punished by fines and points deductions.
Basically, if the scoreboard says you need 2 to win, you knock 2. Shake hands, pack up, and the scores say. "We got it wrong your two short" you are gonna re set up, and you aren't going to say to the oppo "oh you win".
You follow the scoreboard, and it decides the game. Hence why it's important both teams supply an actual scorer.
Just to add we have 3 sat teams, all have a paid scorer, we have 2 midweek teams, both have a paid scorer. Our Sunday side, has people fighting over who gets to score.
We other £15 for a full days scoring, £10 for midweek scoring. We pay to send those interested on a scoring course. We pick them up and take them home for every game.
Look after them and they'll want to score.
Don't offer them anything to do the job, and you'll struggle for one.
