Click here for a pdf of the how to Score Guideline.
Here are some tips to help you score:
- HOME team collects the scoresheet from the MENA competition office 15mins before the game.
- Regular players names should already be printed on the scoresheet. New or fill-in players must be written on the scoresheet.
- Each quarter, tick the players that take the court.
- HOME team scorer (this is the first named team on the scoresheet) complete the scoresheet during the game. This team will also take the first centre pass.
- AWAY team scorer – make sure you stand with the HOME scorer and verify the recording during the game. THIS STEP IS EXTRA IMPORTANT – that’s why it’s in Red. This team will also choose the end to shoot goals
- End of game – Winning team’s scorer to get both umpires, captains, and scorers to sign the scoresheet.
- The winning team returns the scoresheet to the office window.
- If it’s a DRAW – the home team returns the scoresheet.
- SMILE because you are an important part of the game and the players thank you. Three cheers to you on a wonderful job!!!
Fill in Players
If you play any player that is not a permanent member of your team, or is a new team member, or is a fill-in player or someone playing up, then record their name and DOB on the back of the scoresheet.
Failure to comply with any of these conditions WILL result in the team incurring a 1 championship point penalty.
Team Managers
Scoresheets will be available for pick up by the HOME team at the competition office. Each team must provide a scorer. Scorers must stand together. The winning team is responsible for returning the completed scoresheet to the Competition office.
Indoor courts have a central score bench and electric scoring. One scorer should complete the scoresheet and the other scorer will operate the electronic scoreboard. Instructions for the use of the score bench are located beside the controls.
Outdoor courts do not have a score bench. Scorers need to be in the centre of the court, on the sideline standing together. Outdoor the AWAY team will use the flip board scoring.
In keeping with the Under 9 non-competitive philosophy, scorers for under 9 teams will not be required to operate the electronic scoreboards inside the stadium or use the flip board scoring for outdoor courts. The scoring display will be for U11 – Open sections only.
Netball Victoria REGISTRATIONS
All players must have a Netball Victoria Membership before going onto the court. Please ensure that your players have paid their Netball Victoria Membership.
If you play a Netball Victoria registered player from another association as a fill-in, that player should bring with them their Netball Victoria Membership number and this number needs to be entered on the back of the scoresheet with the player’s name.
If you play a non-Netball Victoria registered player for one match as a fill-in, then that player needs to purchase a single game voucher Netball Victoria Membership online. The vouchers are valid for one match. This player’s details should also be entered on the back of the scoresheet.
