Last night I played three consecutive boards on which I never saw a score at the time, because nobody else played them before the table score needed to be reset. Why does this happen? There is no need, given the number of times a board is played (at IMPS anyway).

The first was played at 22:23 GMT, the other 15 between 22:47 and 22:53
The second was played at 22:31, the others between 23:00 and 23:04
The third was played at 22:36, the others between 23:38 and 23:41

We do sometimes manage to set up simple competitions at a table, if four people are hanging around long enough. It's most frustrating when boards do not deliver a score.
