It depends on why she dropped the ball. Was it a simple bunt right at her that she just flubbed, or did she have to barehand it or try and make a do or die play to try and get the out? How fast was the runner,etc.But which one is correct? In our game, I believe our scorekeeper was correct. Case in point, our pitcher fielded a bunt, dropped it, then threw to 1B late. Our scorekeeper gave an E-1... the "official" scorekeepers at the game gave a hit.

There will be a lot of gray plays that can go either way.
In that case unless you felt there was an easy play at 2nd to get the runner I would score a SAC with an E5.No she flubbed it... A SAC bunt right to her
That's not a stolen base, that's defensive indifference. The problem you have is a scorekeeper that doesn't know how to properly keep score.
I occasionally do scorekeeping seminars. I have found that there are those that don't know, don't care, and don't want to know. And there are those who think they know but only sort of know. Then some in between. Considering how many people say they are afraid of keeping score because they think they will mess it up, you'd think I would get more people wanting training. LOL.Depends on whether you trust the person doing the book...
And they are keeping stats for 8u why?I was following an 8U machine pitch team from my DD's org in "Nationals" on GC. Over the 4 games I followed, their team, nor the team they played, made a single error according to GC..
I always told my parents here's my phone number, you can call me anytime. And I will discuss playing time. HOWEVER, I don't want to hear from you the day off the game, period. As for playing time, I will discuss it. Many coaches won't. I would rather hear from the player if she wants to know how she can get more playing time. Parents, if you want to know why your daughter isn't playing more...ask her. Not always but usually the players know. And one more qualification, I will talk playing time, however, parents (and players) need to understand it is the COACH's decision. Sometimes there may not be a stat that explains it. Sometimes it may be a gut feeling that this player is going to shine today. Maybe a coach might put a player in to fire up another player. There are many reasons and they don't always have to be about stats.Why is talking generally with a coach about how they think about playing time or batting lineup somehow off limits? A coach who is secure with his thought process shouldn't have any problem sharing it with a player, parent, or bystander. For the team AND parents, it really shouldn't be any sort of secret.
YuuupI like stats to use as a backup to what I think I'm seeing. The 2 things that can be missed is a kid who has a couple of great hits every weekend that everyone remembers but has an OBP of 200 and the kid who is getting on a lot but doesn't have anything that you really remember but has a 500 OBP.
