For everyone's benefit,
PLEASE keep the scorekeepers' box neat!
NO SEEDS ON THE FLOOR (or shells either)!
Use the bin for trash, and
please empty it after the final game of the day.
Pick up after yourself and any guests.

Thanks, from your Head Scorekeeper

IMPORTANT!...The most important information of all as far as the official scorebook is concerned is a record of each pitcher's pitch count. My job as head scorekeeper is to monitor this info, and make sure that teams adhere to the pitch count rules. If you are keeping the official book, please make sure you include this information.

Scorekeeping tips...
When recording the pitcher's information, use the opposing team's page (in other words, the team that pitcher is facing). This makes it easier to look at the scorebook and see which pitcher was in at the time.
