What to do to prepare for tournament:
KNOW OFFICIAL CERTIFICATION TEAM REQUIREMENTS

Remember- this is NOT a teaching tournament- teams are supposed to have taught team members what to do and how to do it- it is to see if they know what to do and how to do it.

1) If you are getting your team members certified for officiating make sure you have printed the rating form ( from pool sheet file) or from forms page on website- one per certification applicant. You may have different applicants for each game during a match.  It is the COACHES responsibility to find the rater for your court and give them the rating form BEFORE your match starts.

2) For new coaches- you must complete a score report form (in pool sheet file) and remit after each match to gym supervisor.

3) Team members seeking scorekeeping certification will be handled by the coach.  The coach simply needs to sign a rating form after the applicant has kept score for 3 full matches. We are taking the word of the coach they know what to do and how to do it.

4) All rating forms after the rating are to be kept by the coach.  The coach turns them into the club director, who will summarize and remit to the region.
