Our 14.1 scoresheet:
Under "Points" we write the number of balls on the table prior to the player's inning start. And before every break shot during the game. Therefore it is never above 15. Under "-/+" we write either points received or deducted (in case of a foul). "Total" is intended for a player's total amount of points.
I filled the sheet to give an example:
Player A starts with a scratch, penalized by a point. B runs 2 and misses, 2 in his Total column. We count the balls remaining on the table, get 13 and write it down to A's "Points". A runs 3 and misses, 3 to his -/+, 2 Total. Count the balls on the table again, 10. B misses and his Total remains unchanged. 10 balls at A's service now, he runs 3. Which is added to previous Total 2, equals 5. B runs 5 balls (of 7 remaining when he gets to the table) and leaves 2 for A. A makes 1 and is ready to break the rack. 15 balls on the table. And A shifts to second gear and runs the rack. Prior to another break he writes 15 again. And runs another one! Adds Total each time, now being 34. Writes 15 again before next break and... misses a break ball. Player B approaching the table now has 15 balls to start his 4th inning of the match, and so on.
We can see player has a run of 28 (34-6), total 34 points scored in 5 innings (6,8 points average). It only could be hard to count innings right because you have to identify continuous runs - but we have EPBF statisticians for this, who else needs to know an average
But in general this way is easy and reliable
