1. Scorekeepers Shall Not talk while keeping score!
2. Scorekeepers Shall Not move about while keeping score, stand
still!
3. Scorekeepers Shall Not look at the shooter, stand facing the
board!
4. Scorekeepers Shall Not call out a score, of one dart or all
three
-- unless the shooter asks you!
5. Scorekeepers Shall Not tell a shooter what to shoot
or what
combination to shoot for an out!
6. Scorekeepers Shall Not change a score unless it is brought to
the attention of both shooters (teams).
7. Scorekeepers Shall Not change a score - regardless - if that
player (team) has shot again and a second score written down. An
error in a shooter's score MUST be corrected before he (team)
shoots again or it stands.
8. Scorekeepers Shall Not lean out to see where a dart is or is
going, nor shall he follow the darts with body or head movement!
9. Scorekeepers Shall Not show any sign of disgust or excitement
while at the scoreboard!
10. Scorekeepers Shall Not change the side of the scoresheet of
the player in three leg matches..if you start a player on the
left side of the scoresheet, continue to keep his score on the
left- regardless of what the bull shots are.
These 10 Commandments were originally written by Sarah Parsons in the
1970's, and have been reprinted countless times in darts league
newsletters, darts magazines, and tournament programs.
