Since we often play with kids running around, we've had a couple disasters keeping score with the official board.   Plus sometimes it's too easy to get screwed up with the 50 or 100 point tiles.

We've pretty much switched exclusively to pen and paper for scoring... We do still burn one of the meeples at the start.

Anyone else play this way?  The only thing I miss is when someone gets past 100 and has a 50 card, I yell out "Flip It!" (and say 'registered trademark').  This game makes you do weird things...

We use pen and paper (a scoresheet I created in Excel) as in our mega-Carc games scores can exceed 1,000. Recent 2-player game was 1,100 to 900 and 4-player games usually end with all players in the 400-600 range. Too hard with scoreboards!

I experimented with way os tracking score. Even once I kept all in my mind and went well (I am good with math), but the most efficient way is to designate a score keeper, and let him do all the scoring. Nice thing i have seen in to use poker tokens for scoring.

I feel obliged to shamelessly plug my Carcassonne Score Keeper utility made in Excel:
