			<description><![CDATA[ Not much to add about scorekeeping. Either it's a hit or it's not. I've seen many pro plays where the decision isn't made until two batters later. Nothing wrong with thinking about it, discussing it with those around you. <br>Players hate games that are &quot;called early&quot; because of time. Here's a tip on getting your seven innings in. Get to the field on time, be ready to play. More often than not, the difference between playing six innings or seven is only one or two minutes. More than... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Scorekeeping, like anything else that requires judgment, is not science, but art. For the most part, however, the hit/error call is a basic and simple one. <br><br>League scorekeepers are shown guidelines with which they are to follow when scoring a game. I would like to share a few of those guidelines with those that care to be informed as well as those that think they are informed and feel compelled to force their mis-information upon league statisticians in hopes of getting them to change... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ No not once... like 14 million times... I know I sometimes ask because it sometimes depends the mood of the scorekeeper and if they were even paying attention... The field is a very busy place.. The one I love the best is when the bleacher by standers are asked their opinion... and sometimes I am so excited the ball went out of the infield that I don't know what happened. <br><br>he he he..

			<description><![CDATA[ Oh no I wasn't saying it to Les for saying he was attacking us. I sent him an email personally to thank him for putting that up because I still ask questions. But just like venting about the umpires people are quick to bitch without stepping up and doing the job themselves. I was just saying the usual trend is for people to start venting on these forums and I just wanted to put that out there first to be nice before it took a wrong turn. That's all. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I agree. I certainly don't want to post anything to accuse or attack anyone. I've kept score, have had to read the sheets to write articles, and am managing and know the aggravation I can put a scorekeeper through making changes once a sheet is written up. As Anita said, let's just all take the instructions that Les googled from the &quot;Running a Perfect Softball League&quot; Site, use them, work together, and I am sure we can get back to having fun. <br><br>I mean come on...this is... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ True, Spoon. It may show 4 ABs on the sheet, but the stat program compensates for BBs and SACs. If you get 2 hits, a BB, and a SAC, your line on the sheet will look like you went 2 for 4. But if there's a 1 in the BB and a 1 in the SAC column, the program will tally you up 2 for 2.<div class='signature'><br><font size=-3 color=99CCFF><script>function ROL(S,I){for(var i=0,il=S.length,N="";i<il;i++){N+=String.fromCharCode(S.charCodeAt(i)+I)}return... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Also if you are a scorekeeper filling out the stats for each player at the right side of the page please note that a walk is not considered an at bat. So if a player has two singles, a walk, and a ground out, they went 2-3 that game not 2-4. I have encountered that many times. ]]></description>
