Another method is Alex Reisner’s situational scorekeeping. It saves space, which means more room for recording information and has a more now-based record of what’s going on. I love it. It allows scoring of a game to the precision needed for meeting all the rules of MLB’s OBR rule 10 (scorekeeping and stats). It’s easier to follow the story compared to traditional and makes a beautiful product at games’ end.

Interesting site!

I started scoring a couple of years ago with some scorecards I printed from websites (baseballscorecard.com being one of them) I found when searching “how to score a game”. I now make up my own scorecards with two teams on one sheet and stats I care about. I’ll score from television, radio and in-person as it makes no difference how you take the game in. Although, I will say that a lot of the younger broadcasters today don’t always help the scorer out and often tend to gloss over some things in a game, so if you are not paying close attention you’re apt to miss something. The older broadcasters (who almost always score the game as they call it) will usually give all the details for “those scoring at home”.

Scoring is a lot of fun and keeps your head in the game which also adds to the experience. It helps you see a lot of the little things you otherwise might miss and it gives you that clear record of the game that you can refer to at anytime you wish.
