NATIONAL ACCREDITATION FOR BENCH OFFICIALS

1. Zone Entities on behalf of Netball New Zealand shall deliver the Netball New Zealand Bench Officials programme.

2. Candidates who have achieved competence at Zone Level events and games in Scoring and Timekeeping will

be awarded a Zone NNZ Bench Officials Accreditation certificate. Assessment of competence in these disciplines will be assessed at Zone level on Zone approved games or other specified games. Candidates who have achieved competence in Scoring and Timekeeping at National level events and games

will be awarded a National NNZ Bench Officials Accreditation certificate. In order to achieve National certification two domestic scoresheets as Scorer 1 at the specified level of game must be submitted to NNZ for assessment.

3. The Zone Entity’s Bench Officials Coordinator shall register names of successful candidates with the Zone

Entity. Candidate details will also be recorded on the Netball New Zealand Database. NNZ will only keep those candidates who have completed a Zone Qualification and above.

4. The Zone Entity will keep a record of accredited personnel who officiate on approved games.

Revalidation will occur every three years for the maintenance of current qualification

5. For a Bench Official to be revalidated they must submit the prescribed number of domestic scoresheets as

Scorer 1 on the appropriate level of games for the qualification that they wish revalidated. If an official does not revalidate within the three year time frame, unless there is an extension or exemption granted by NNZ or the Zone Entity, they will return to the level below that which they held e.g. if national accredited then without revalidation they are now considered to be Zone – if Zone then they become unaccredited.

6. Where changes or updates related to any of Bench Officials roles are made a training seminar or update

session may be required to be completed for a candidate to retain their qualification.

7. Bench referee will hold National accreditation

PROTOCOLS FOR BENCH OFFICIALS Expected behaviours:

Dress: Black or dark coloured tidy trousers, provided Sponsors top (if one not available a plain black shirt or top

to be worn)

Zone supplied apparel is acceptable if there is no sponsor apparel.

If there is no supplied apparel then if qualified the wearing of NNZ National Bench Official vest is encouraged.

Appearance must be tidy and presentable

Behaviour is to be non-partisan (that is without bias) towards either team

Pleasant and co-operative demeanour

Concentration and focus of all officials must be on the game – refrain from unnecessary talk

No food is to be on or eaten at the Score bench during a game.

Where successive games are to be officiated, officials may require sustenance however, please move away

from score bench to consume food ensuring that the bench remains tidy and clean.

Hydration (water bottles) or spill-proof cups may be used and visible – ensure markings on these containers do

not conflict with sponsor’s products.

No use of cell phones

Protocol for Handling Errors

At NNZ Domestic Events: In the event of an error on the Domestic Scoresheet:

Scorer 1 is the official scorer at these events

Check with Scorer 2 - If the error can be identified and rectified easily, do not stop the game

If the error is easily identifiable and fixable – fix it

If the error is not easily identified nor able to be rectified easily then -

i. Scorer 1 or 2 ask the Bench Referee to assist them. Whichever scorer doesn’t have the issue keeps going.

ii. While the Bench Referee works with the scorer who needs assistance IT IS CRITICAL that one

scorer continues to keep an accurate score maintained. iii. Use the person designated to give bench official support from NNZ or Zone. iv. Option - Scorer 1 or 2 – leave some lines and continue further down the sheet. Cross out the

blank lines at the end of the quarter so scoresheet can’t be adjusted. v. Option - if you think it is a numbering issue use a small tick to record who scored goals then

when error is found and fixed turn these into numbers. vi. Emphasise in training the checking process between scorers on a regular basis.

If at the beginning of any quarter the centre pass is in conflict with the umpire’s indication at the start

of the game or interval then Scorer 2 calls out “Umpire – Pass check”

If the centre pass that the umpires indicates is in conflict with what the scoresheet shows then simply

note on the scoresheet by circling the centre pass where the difference occurred and continue in the pattern that the umpire has indicated.

Where possible raise this at the end of the quarter or game with the umpire/s.

If the umpire calls for a “pass check” during the game Scorer 2 calls out the team that the scoresheet

shows is due to have the centre pass.



9

Presentation of the Scoresheet

Key competencies:

Legibility – figures, writing and symbols used e.g. dots - must be clearly and consistently formed

Size – writing and figures etc which fit neatly and legibly inside the boxes and spaces provided

Mathematical skills –accurate addition of statistics and checking of such equations

Errors – are to be crossed out with a tidy straight line - horizontally, diagonally or with an “X” through the

incorrect items. Avoid the use of scribble-outs or block outs.

NO whiteout or text erasing allowed on any official documents – e.g. scoresheet, team list, substitution forms



10

UNDERSTANDING AND APPLICATION

Interpretations Scenario 1

A shooter (GA/GS) is about to or has released the ball for a shot at goal.

The whistle is blown by the umpire to indicate that time is up for the end of a quarter or match.

The ball has not been able to go completely through the ring as per rule 15.1 (v)

Interpretation

That the Attempt is NOT COUNTED.

o Reason: it is unfair to count as an attempt something that could not be counted as a goal – if unable to be counted “in” then we should not penalize a shooter for an “out”

The exception to this is if it is a PENALTY SHOT – in which case if it is successful it would count and therefore if

unsuccessful must also be recorded as a missed PENALTY ATTEMPT

Scenario 2

A shooter is shooting for goal and an opposition player is called for an unrelated penalty e.g. GS is shooting for

goal and the GD is called for contact on the GA. Interpretation

That the attempt is COUNTED

o Reason: if the shot by the GS is successful it will be awarded as a goal by the umpire under the advantage rule.

Scenario 3

A shooter is shooting for goal and one of her own players is called for a penalty e.g. GS is shooting for goal

and the GA is called for contact on the GD. Interpretation

That the attempt is NOT COUNTED o Reason: it is unfair to count an attempt against the GS as if the shot was successful it would be

disallowed by the umpire as the penalty against the GA will take precedence.

Scenario 4

If a penalty/or attempt occurs but the shooter misses and a contact occurs while going for a rebound which

results in a penalty being awarded then two separate attempts are recorded Interpretation

GA is awarded a penalty by the umpire but it is unsuccessful. So recorded with a P as per usual.

In going for the rebound the GA is contacted by the GD and is awarded another penalty.

These are two separate penalty attempts and should be recorded as such

While it is the same shooter the initial penalty was completed and a new phase of play has occurred



11

Scenario 5

If a penalty is awarded to a shooter and in the process of taking it, a further penalty is awarded

Interpretation

Then this is recorded as only one attempt

o GS is awarded a penalty because the GD contacts o GD stands beside o While the GS is attempting the penalty the GK obstructs and the umpire awards a further penalty o This penalty is set with both the GD and the GK standing beside o Only one penalty attempt is recorded because this is a penalty awarded on top of a penalty without

the first attempt being completed or a new phase of play commencing – unlike the situation in 4 above

Scenario 6

If a penalty is awarded to one shooter (eg the GS) and the other shooter takes it (eg the GA)

Interpretation

Record the attempt against the GA even though the GS was awarded it

o Record as per usual – if successful = Penalty IN – if unsuccessful = Penalty OUT

Scenario 7

Where a penalty is awarded and the shot is taken before the penalty is set (i.e. before infringing player stands

beside and away) Interpretation

If successful the umpire may award the goal without re-setting the penalty

o The goal is counted as a successful shot. o If the umpire chooses to set the penalty after the first shot was taken regardless of whether it is

successful or not do not count the first attempt

Scenario 8

If the umpire advances a penalty against a mid-court player into the goal circle (i.e. neither GD or GK infringed)

record the attempt as a penalty by the shooter who takes this.

Scenario 9

If GD or GK tip/deflect a shot that is an unsuccessful attempt not resulting in a penalty – it is recorded as an unsuccessful attempt and called “OUT”.

From the official form handed to the bench by the

team management In the appropriate quarter column note changes of

position. Write all positions in the top left hand corner of the

box at the start of the quarter in case of an injury or team change occurring during the quarter

Record substitutions or team changes during a quarter in the bottom right hand corner of the box

To indicate that a player did not start the quarter but has come on during the quarter use a dash (-) in the top left corner

If you run out of room in the box for a particular quarter due to several team or positional changes use sub pad to assist and then record these changes in the comments box at the end of the game as – Team 2 – 3

rd quarter - …….

At the end of a quarter if a player does not take the

court at all for that quarter then mark their box with an X.

Do this at the end of the quarter! Do not anticipate the

player participation/changes which may occur in a quarter

At the start of second/third/fourth quarters if a player

remains in the same position then put either a tick or the position letters in the top left hand corner of the box. Or you may leave this until the end of the quarter as per X’s.

Mark the rest of their participation as per A & B above.

In the example of K. Adams – began the game in the 4

th quarter at C but was taken off court during the

quarter. A dash is used rather than an X to differentiate between a player, who has been on court vs one who does not play at all.

REMEMBER to complete the 4th quarter (or final) column for the game. This is very important!

12.(A) Record change in shooters on numerical columns Shooter changes must be indicated when

they occur - that is during the quarter or at the end of the quarter.

When a shooter is changed at the end of a quarter enclose in a red ink box all final actions by a GS or GA being replaced.

If the shooter is being replaced in the middle of a phase of play through team substitution/change in a quarter put a small red ink box around all final actions by that player before they were changed. This is to allow for the possible addition of a goal etc in that

phase of play by the new shooter entering the game. Example at end of quarter – e.g.

JOB DESCRIPTION

SCORER 2: NNZ RUNNING SCORESHEET/CALLER

When calling ensure they continuously watch the game (i.e. not have head down writing anything at any time) as

they are the only bench official able to do so. Most misunderstandings and incorrect entries occur because the person calling has their head down and so nobody was watching the game, e.g. when a goal is disallowed and they assume the ball returned for a centre pass when play actually continued.

Where possible slightly elevate the Caller so that their view of the court is unimpeded

Remember that the key is CONSISTENCY for the duration of the game – while we are aiming to achieve uniformity it is important that the statistics recorded in one particular game are recorded in the same way for both teams.

If the Caller makes a call and it is incorrect – tell scorer 1 immediately and make a note on paper of the goal number and check the call with the scorer at the next interval

Team 1 on the score pad should always be called first, followed by Team 2

Centre Pass

1. Specify the centre pass – timing of this is important so the caller may use a system similar to the umpires.

Confirm the centre pass as taken or not taken in the event that the end of the quarter occurs. This may be checked with the umpires at the end of the quarter.

Goal Attempts

1. When calling an attempt use Team Name, Position, and either IN or OUT.

STEPS KEYPOINTS

1. Complete match details Responsible for calling for scorer 1 and completing running scoresheet.

Court number e.g. 1 Match names of both teams Event e.g. ANZ Champs Date - in numerals Venue e.g. Stadium Southland Team 1 Team 2

These must be the same order and initials as on the NZ Domestic scoresheet

2. Record the beginning pass sequence 1 2

Pass Direction

After result of toss notified Line immediately after Pass in first quarter Use arrow to indicate whether Team 1’s goal is to

the right or to the left of the score bench. or

3a . Call centre pass at start of each ¼ and after each center pass has been taken 3b. Check centre pass

Check with umpires at the end of the quarter

whether a Centre Pass was taken to determine the team to begin with the Centre Pass for the next quarter

E.g. Tasman Pass

NOTE: the difference between the domestic and running scoresheet procedure is that attempts are not recorded.

A. Pass Taken but with no goal scored -

There is no activity on the final pass of the quarter but it was taken. Rule a line through the middle of the row across the two columns. The down slash is to ensure that there can be no alteration to the sheet The centre pass to start the next quarter should be C

. B. Pass taken with goal scored – there is activity on the final pass of the quarter but it was taken – so rule a line underneath the final pass taken. The centre pass to start the next quarter should be C.

C. Pass Not Taken – To indicate that the pass was not taken rule a line across the middle of all 5 columns. This usually occurs when the timing of writing the centre-pass and the umpire whistle don’t coincide. The centre pass to start the next quarter should be N.
