🔥 Are you ready for Saturday?!
Here are a few must-knows to keep things running smoothly on Saturday.
✅ Player Sign-On
• All players sign the scoreboard in full – no ticks or initials.
• This is the official record checked by competition officials.
✅ Scorers Sign-On
• Both scorers sign the board in the correct section.
• Both must write and agree on the final score before handing in.
✅ Officials at Every Game
• 2 scorers (1 from each team) + 1 timekeeper (from the first-named/home team).
• Officials must be capable, remain together all game, and not engage with players, coaches, or spectators.
• Only 1 designated person per team may approach scorers at breaks to check scores.
• Coaches are NOT to approach the scorers during the game.
• Games will not start or continue if these three officials are not present at all times during the game. No officials = No game.
✅ Timekeeper’s Role
• Record stoppages as communicated by the umpire, on a mobile and ensure scorers note them.
• At ¾ time, tell the umpires the extra time to be added to the 4th quarter.
• Advise the umpire when 15 seconds remain, and when extra time is complete.
✅ Drawn Games
• Extra time is played at the end of full time (including stoppage time).
• A C&DNA rep will be the official timer.
• 2 min break → two 5-min halves → if still drawn, play continues until 2-goal advantage.
✅ Scoreboards
• Umpires will bring scoreboards to the courts.
• The winning team is to return the scoreboard to control.
• Teams are still responsible for ensuring scoreboards are completed correctly.
✅ Spectators
• All spectators (including Club Committees) must stay in designated areas.
• No one is permitted on baselines. They will be moved on.
• For the safety of all - children should not be playing or running near courts during games.
Bring on Saturday!!!
