B.C.Y.A.A.  Score / Time Keepers  Rules  2008 – 2009

1)  All Score and Time Keepers will show up 15 minutes prior to their game start time.

You are being hired to do a job.

While you are working – please handle yourself with the utmost professionalism.

2) The Score Keeper has the following responsibilities:

A) Getting the Score Book filled out.

Approach/seek out each coach and ask them to fill in the book.

Make sure all the following information is filled in and complete:

1. Player’s names (first and last)

2. Player’s   #

3. Team Name (Sponsor)

4. Coach’s name.

This must be done immediately following the conclusion of the previous game.

We have a game scheduled every hour and must stay on schedule.

B) Keeping/maintaining the Alternate Possession Arrow.

C) Keeping an ACCURATE score and player fouls and timeouts in the ScoreBook.

D) Communicating with the TimeKeeper frequently to make sure that the book and board are in sync.

3) The TimeKeeper has the following responsibilities:

A) Maintaining an ACCURATE score, players’ fouls and game clock on the display board.

B) Buzzing substitutes into the game on dead balls or last foul shot attempt

C) Communicating with the ScoreKeeper frequently to make sure that the book and board are in sync.

4) The Referees are in charge of the floor.

If you have any questions that may affect the game, get the Referee’s attention and ask them.

5) NO CELL PHONES or MP3 Players of any kind are to be on or visible while working.

Turn them off prior to entering the gym when working.

NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

6) No one besides the working Score Keeper, Time Keeper, Referees or an Executive Board Member is allowed behind the Score/Time Keepers Table.

If someone comes behind the table – politely ask them to leave.

NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!

Spot checks will be performed.  Violations will be addressed. Continuous violators will have their games reassigned.

7) Ignore comments from the coach and the parents.  Stay focused on doing your job.

If comments get out of hand, notify the Referees.  DO NOT respond to the comments.

8) If you can’t make a scheduled game, please notify me as soon as possible.

Remember – this schedule is difficult enough to maintain.

Cancellations make what is already a difficult task much more difficult.

9) You will be excused the first time for a last minute no-show or cancellation (less than 24 hours notice)

The second time – you will be put to the bottom of the schedule and any regular weekly assigned games will be re-assigned to someone else.

3 or more than 3 cancellations, for any reason, will lead you to be placed in an “only call in an emergency” category.

10) The Game/Special Rules will be taped to the inside back cover of every Score Book, as well as my contact information.

11) If there are any issues, questions, comments or concerns – report them to me directly.

I want to be made aware of any game you are involved with where you feel the coach was “out of control”

If there is really an issue, I want to be contacted IMMEDIATELY!!!

If there is something you think I need to know, you can wait until after the game and you can

call me or send me an E-Mail via the web site. I am the one that reads ALL the E-Mails.

All communications about the above with me will be kept 100% confidential.

Please don’t let me find out about a problem from the referee’s or a parent calling me to complain.
