We don't pay our scorer as he's mad for it (mathematician, does all the club stats going back to the 50's, literally every game, balls faced and knows all the records p). We've tried to give him £15 as it seems the norm but he refuses.. So he gets a free tea and we all take it in turns (although some don't as they are tight/selfish) buy him a cider post match.
Rules say like below we have to have a scorer and no, players don't count so he's a god send.. Very few people want to sit and score so I can see why teams have to pay. Only clubs I've seen who get it for free are mums, dads and partners being ropped in.
