Scorebooks
When it comes to playing sports, an important part of any game is keeping track of the score. In order to do this accurately, a coach or manager from the team will fill out a scorebook. Each scorebook is relative to the sport that's being played, as there are scorebooks designed for each specific sport instead of them being universal. Not only do scorebooks keep track of individual game scores, but they also document season records, individual season stats and season team stats. When it comes to individual games, both teams will keep a scorebook, but the home team is considered the official book. However, when both teams fill out a scorebook, they help to aid in dispute when there any differences in the score keeping. Let's take a look at what to look for in your team's scorebook.

What to Look For
* '''Team'''. Each sport has its own type of scorebook, so make sure you choose one that's meant for your sport. Some of the most common scorebooks are for basketball, soccer and softball, but there are also scorebooks for lacrosse, tennis and wrestling.
* '''Quantity'''. You want to choose a scorebook that will hold the number of games your team has for the season. Pages vary according to the scorebook, as baseball always has the most season games. If you can't find a book to hold the amount of games you have, you'll need to purchase two separate scorebooks.
* '''Cover'''. Most scorebooks have a soft cover, as they're lightweight and easy to carry around. However, hard cover scorebooks are more durable and stand up better to inclement weather conditions.
* '''Size'''. Scorebooks come in two different sizes. Some are standard sized, while others are oversized or jumbo sized. The larger sizes don't have more pages, but they are easier to read and have larger spots to fill out scores.
Helpful Hints
Some of the most popular brands for scorebooks include GameCraft, Brine and MacGregor. Some companies specialize in specific sports, such as MacGregor who makes baseball and softball scorebooks, and Kwik Goal who does soccer scorebooks. Make sure when filling out your scorebook, you use pencil so that you can change mistakes and edit work if needed. Most scorebooks are wire bound so that they lie flat and have easy access for viewing. To make coaching easier, look for a scorebook that has extra features, such as an index reference and easyup sheets that you can give to the officials before the start of the game.
