Arrive at least 15 minutes before game time. Make sure you have a scorebook, pencils, erasers, and highlighters. Ask a team manager or board member for the keys if the scorebooth is locked.

Introduce yourself to the umpire and collect the original lineup sheets from both managers. The sooner you ask for lineups, the more likely the game will start on time!  

Transfer lineups to the scorebook. Record player’s full first name and last name initial (especially for common names in league or division), uniform number, and position. Also indicate the Home and Visiting teams, name of umpire, your name as scorekeeper, and game location by field #. 

Note the time game begins. 

After the game, write the winning team and the score in large letters on a blank portion of the page.
