The Score Sheet Form

• Three Part Form
• Original for league, copy for each team
• Information limited to what league needs to
  capture
• Names of bench officials
• Names of teams, including program, age/grade,
  names and numbers of players, who scored goals,
  personal fouls, running score
• Score verification by bench and field officials.
• Accurate copies require firm pressure with ball
  point pens provided.
• Keep forms dry if at all possible.
• Umbrella, laundry bag, whatever you can do.
• No objection to collecting other information
  (ground balls, nature of foul, saves, shots
  attempted, face off wins, etc.), but that must be
  done by someone else on another form. Full stats
  require at least one spotter, and better captured
  by others in the stands.

Who Are the Score Keepers?

• KCYLL bylaws require the home team to provide the
  scorekeeper and the visiting team, the clock
  operator. They are both table officials, and
  report to and work with the game officials.
• It is good practice to have all table officials
  to be cross trained so they can work together
  with knowledge of what the other persons
  responsibilities are.

Job 1 Rosters

• Report to Table 15 minutes before game starts.
• Collect Rosters from head coaches or field
  manager.
• If not available, advise officials roster(s) not
  received. This will result in a delay of game
  penalty.
• Obtain from coaches the names/numbers of InHome
  (must be a starting attackman), and Goalie.
• Enter InHomes name and number on top line and
  Goalies name and number on bottom line.
• Enter information on top lines Date, Field
  name, Scorers Name, Time Keepers Name, Home
  Team and Visiting Team.

Suggestions on Roster Entries

• Enter remaining player information.
• Except for InHome, it is helpful to list players
  by ascending jersey number as it makes it easier
  to locate the proper line when scoring.
• The InHome is the first listed person on the
  teams roster and must be a starting attack.
  The InHome is who serves penalties against a
  coach, fans, or where the culprit cannot be
  identified.
• Should InHome not be available to serve a penalty
  for any reason, the second person on the roster
  is the new InHome.
• If short on time, do just numbers, and come back
  during stoppage of play to enter last name and at
  least first letter of first name.

Job 2 Keeping Score

• Goal Scored Put tally mark () next to name in
  Goals column, and a slash mark (\) on the running
  score line below player names.
• Be sure number of tally marks is the same as the
  running score line.
• If Own Goal, e.g. goalie drops ball into goal,
  or accidently kicked into goal by defensive
  player, add a player name Own Goal and put
  tally mark next to that and record on running
  score line.
• If unsure who scored the goal, ask the coach of
  the offensive team as they always know.
• Do not score goal until the officials are ready
  to start play or if there is a flag down on the
  play, as goals can be waved off if shooter in the
  crease, ball did not go in and the official made
  a mistake when calling it a goal, or ball had not
  crossed goal line before time expired in the
  period and many other reasons (15 listed in Rule
  4.9.2).

Job 3 Recording Penalties

• Fouls Assessed. Applies only to Personal Fouls,
  most easily defined as those called where the
  assessed penalty if 1minute or more.
• If any question that the foul was a personal
  foul, ask the official before play resumes.
• These are tracked by slash mark through the
  number in the PFouls column.
• When player is assessed second personal foul,
  advise players coach that he has three fouls,
  and that he will foul out with fourth foul.
• If player fouls out, put a line through players
  name and entries to indicate he is out of the
  game and put F.O. in space adjacent to players
  line.
• Player Ejection If a player is ejected from a
  game, put a line through his name, with an E
  next to his line and write a brief description in
  space at bottom of his teams portion of the
  score sheet.

Job 3 Verifying Entries

• Your score sheet is the official record of the
  game.
• At the end of every quarter, confer with the
  timekeeper who is from the other team, that your
  sheet accurately reflects the score to that point
  in the game.
• The officials will often check with you between
  periods and at the end of the game to make sure
  their tallies and yours match. Yours is the
  official score.
• Obtain signatures of two officials, time keeper
  and you. This is the final verification that the
  score sheet is accurate.
