Greetings, Here we have one FM the carries Alabama football and basketball, plus another FM that is total sports and carries as many as five games a week. We do it all in the main log and have over the years developed routines that cover most situations "overtime" "running past midnight" etc. Question is are you talking about network games delivered via satellite or local games such as high school ( we do those two ). Most networks use at least 3 different contact closures, local, ID, and end of broadcast, with good planning and these it is easy to automate sports without ever a need of a board op. If things are properly addressed I don't see any need to run a separate log unless you just want to.
I would be glad to help any way I can. Just reach out and lmk particular events or situations you are dealing with and I will let you know how we have managed those.
