The Scoreboard Laws
Eight rules for video scoreboard operators, from scoreboard guru Paul Shubin:

  1. When your team is losing, everything on the scoreboard is unacceptable.
  2. A commercial of 15 seconds duration takes longer than 15 seconds to produce.
  3. Agencies only deliver their material on the day of the game.
  4. The more bulbs there are in a scoreboard, the faster you will spot the one that is burnt out.
  5. The only time a game goes to triple overtime is on the evening you’ve scheduled a special outing.
  6. score_boarding.jpgThe more outrageous the activity, the more cameras there were that failed to capture it.
  7. The crazy fan who’s dancing like a fool will stop as soon as you put him on camera.
  8. The better the replay, the more likely you can’t show it.

I love number two.
