Scoring roster
It takes a village to raise a child and it is an expectation and part of our registration terms and conditions that all families volunteer to assist with scoring duties at least once a season. After all, the Coach and the Team Manager volunteer their time to get other people's kids playing. Basketball scoring is not hard and there is comprehensive information about it on our website here.

How to score a basketball game
This page contains a range of instructions on how to score a basketball game. While the sheet/laptop screen and instructions may not be exactly the same in all cases it serves as a guideline on how to score.
How to score electronically (at Keilor main stadium only effective 10 November 2018)
Stadium scoring is already in use in many other Associations and also in the MUVJBL Friday night representative competition. For those who have not used Stadium Scoring before it is relatively straight forward, however you can find a user guide here and an actions guide here. There is also a video tutorial here however there are a number of functions that we won't be using such as the clock function so take from it what you can.
Note, there still needs to be two scorers on each bench, as the score clock will still need to be operated in conjunction with the lap-top. Team Managers will no longer need to collect the score sheet from the front desk at the main stadium.
Referees will be able to assist if there are any issues. In the unlikely event of a system failure paper score sheets are available from the front desk at the main stadium.
How to score on paper (at outer venues until electronic scoring is introduced)
A "How to Score" sheet can be found on the KBA website here.
This cheat sheet from St Christopher's found here, is also very handy.
A blank score sheet for teaching purposes can be found here.
It is important that scorers are aware of the following rules and advise the referees by signalling them when they occur. If you are unable to catch the referees eye, the scorer should sound the siren by pushing the button on the scoring device.

Important info for scorers regarding qualifications effective from Saturday 16 June 2018
- Players are no longer required to sign the back of the score sheet. For a player to receive a qualification game, their full name and singlet number will need to be on the score sheet (either printed or written on). As most all Jets players names and numbers are printed on the score sheet, if a player is not playing, it will be the job of those on the score bench to clearly put a line through absent players, indicating that they did not participate in the game, and therefore should not get a qualification for that game. If a player has been crossed off, and they arrive to the game late, they can simply be added (re-written) onto the score sheet. At the end of the game, before the score sheet is signed by the referee(s), it must be reflective of players who played/didn't play with those players that did not play crossed off, players added and singlet numbers correct, where applicable.
- For the avoidance of doubt, if a player is in uniform and able to play, even if they do not get on the court (e.g. coaches decision), their name and number should be on the score sheet. Only players who are not at the game, or not able to play as they are injured, or are not in uniform, should be crossed off.
- The persons fulfilling score-bench duties are reminded that they are deemed to be officials for the duration of the game and should behave in a manner expected of game officials (fair, un-biased etc - Refer to Basketball Victoria code of conduct BV Codes of Conduct). Scorers should be reasonable and respectful in their approach to confirming which players are noted at being at the game or not. Any issue or dispute in the matter will ultimately be decided by the referees of the game on the day. The bylaws will be updated to reflect this change in time.
Recording fouls on the score sheet
Player fouls
When recording player fouls, insert the following over the next foul box for the offending player:
- A PERSONAL FOUL. a forward slash “/”
- A TECHNICAL FOUL, a “T”
- An UNSPORTSMANLIKE FOUL, a “U”
- A DISQUALIFYING FOUL, a “D”
The referees must be notified immediately and the player must leave the game if they receive either:
- 5 fouls
- 2 technical fouls (T), or
- 2 unsportsmanlike fouls (U),
- a technical foul (T) and an unsportsmanlike foul (U); or
- a disqualifying foul (D)
The score bench should let the Coach know when any of their players receives a fourth (4th) personal foul, the referees do not need to be notified of this. Once a player receives their fifth (5th) personal foul, the referees need to be alerted and the player must be immediately be subbed off the court and can no longer participate in that game.
Team fouls
When a team receives eight (8) team fouls in a half, the score bench should immediately alert the referees. Any subsequent fouls on that team after the eight (8th) team foul will result in two free throws for the opposition.
When a referee signals a technical foul, unsportsmanlike foul or disqualifying foul then this MUST be recorded differently to a normal personal foul on the score sheet.
Referee signals for special fouls
Refer to the picture for a visual illustration of the referee signals for the following special fouls:
