HOW TO FILL OUT A SCORE SHEET & SCORER DUTIES

Scoring is a shared responsibility at SPJ Netball Club. Each team is required to supply a scorer as directed by the coach’s scoring roster. It is essential that all scoring duties are carried out accurately and in accordance with LYVNA rules, as errors may result in penalties for the team.​​​

​

General Scoring Requirements

The following requirements are mandated by LYVNA and must be followed at every game:

• Each team must supply one scorer

• Both scorers must stand together

• The home team scorer completes the official score sheet

• The away team scorer is responsible for operating the scoreboard

• If there is any discrepancy between the scoreboard and the score sheet, the score sheet takes precedence

• Umpires return the completed score sheet at the conclusion of the game

​

Completing the Score Sheet (Home Team Scorer)

The score sheet must be completed clearly and fully. At the end of the game, the score sheet must be signed by both team captains, both scorers & both umpires.​

 

Please ensure the following:

• Record full names of all players (if not printed on score sheet)

• Record player positions for each quarter

• List all fill‑in or emergency players, including their normal:

  • Team

  • Age group

  • Section

• Record goals scored against each position

• Total:

  • Each position

  • Each quarter

  • The final game score

• Keep a running total of goals

• Track centre passes

• Circle the end‑of‑quarter scores

​

Score Disputes

If the score is in dispute:

• Do NOT sign the score sheet

• Both coaches, both scorers, and both umpires must report the issue immediately to the LYVNA office for resolution
