I hate it when the scoreboard has the wrong count. While I think of it, I have a question: What's a scoreboard? I've never seen one at one of my games. I know I'm not hugely experienced, but I'd like to know if I ever come across one what to do with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ignore it, use your indicator!

You can't quite ignore it. When its wrong, I give the count more often and more vigorously.

If you just ignore it then the participants might be confused.  So give the count more often and louder so everyone knows,.  And try to get the scoreboard fixed as soon as possible and if they keep messing up then have them not use the ball strike portion at least.

It's not a clicker lol...

I feel that I have to get the scoreboard corrected when wrong, as the commentators say in this video players use the board for info.  IMO it's preventative officiating.

Yep, that's what I mean.

Gibby had the right count the scoreboard didn't. 

 

This can be confusing for the players and the umpires and should be fixed at anything above HS.

I would fix it anywhere. I used to work at a Jr/Sr field where the book and scoreboard were run by two very attractive teenage girls. As long as it was those two, perfect. They attracted boys like flies, when they came the board went to pieces. I would simply turn around, kick the boys out, all is good.<br /><br />Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br />

He was using his indicator: combined with the scoreboard it was indicating to him that there rivals that needed to be dealt with!
