I don't really see there being a more reasonable approach than just affirming that the responsibility is on the player for what his card says when it is turned in.
Okay then, an unsigned score is subject to a 2-stroke penalty for the player who leaves the card unsigned, period. Punishment for an unsigned scorecard in golf is disqualification. The player MUST verify and attest to his own score. Don't see why players shouldn't be held to the same kind of standard in disc golf.

Players shouldn't be left with the responsibility of totaling and turning in other players' scorecards (IMO, all players should have to return to tournament central with the cards, but I'll settle for requiring the signature). If a player can't be bothered to total his card and sign it himself, the card should be turned in untotaled for that player.
