scorers

They notch goals

Scorers are people who score—whether recording points in a game, evaluating tests, or putting the ball in the net.

In sports, scorers may be officials who track the score or players who rack up points: The league's top scorers met in the finals.

The scorers' table tracks fouls and timeouts.
