Scorekeepers 10 Commandments

By Order of His Majesty, Philip “Ye Power” Taylor, we do hereby decree that Yon Scorekeeper must abide the following commandments lest one be deemed a fop in the eyes of one’s peers.

Yon Scorekeeper…

1. 1. Shall Not: Hold a conversation or talk in any form while keeping score!
   2. Shall Not: Drink, smoke, or move about in any way while keeping score, stand still!
   3. Shall Not: Look at the shooter, stand facing the board!
   4. Shall Not: Call out a score of any dart unless the shooter asks you!
   5. Shall Not: Tell a shooter what to shoot or what combination to shoot for an out!
   6. Shall Not: Change a score unless it is brought to the attention of both shooters (teams).
   7. Shall Not: Change a score – regardless – if that player (team) has shot again and a second score written down.
   8. Shall Not: Lean out to see where a dart is or is going, nor follow the darts with body or head movement!
   9. Shall Not: Show any sign of disgust or excitement while at the scoreboard!
   10. Shall Not: Change the side of the score sheet of the player in three leg matches. If you start a player on the left side of the score sheet, continue to keep his score on the left regardless of what the bull shots are.
