How to score a basketball game on PlayHQ

- 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), they should be marked as active on the system
- 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.
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.
