Before the game, ask the ref what times they want called out.Sometimes coaches ask you to call the time at certain points of the game.

Timer: Game Clock

Timer: PenaltiesPenalties: • Technical Foul: player serves 30 seconds • Personal Foul: Players serves 1, 2 or 3

minutes  • Penalty time is regulated by timer. Count out

loud to the player during last 10 seconds. state “ release”…to allow him back into game. (“…3,2,1,release”)

Timer: PenaltiesPenalties:  Penalty time runs with game time. If the game clock is stopped (a whistle is blown) then the penalty time is stopped.

If there is still time on a penalty at the end of the quarter, the player finishes serving it at the beginning of the next quarter.

Timer: PenaltiesReleasable vs Nonreleaseable: Releasable:

Most penalties are releasable. If the OTHER team scores, the penalty is released no matter how much time is still left.

Non-Releasable: Typically for unsportsmanlike conduct.

This penalty has to be served in entirety.

FACE OFFS

On a face off, there is almost ALWAYS a ground ball.

Face offs are a team stat.

Other Team Stats

• Clears: Cleared/Failed–Your team gets the ball at your end

and ‘clears’ the 50 yard line and still has possession.

• Extra Man: Scored/Failed–Did you score while you were man

up?

Tips

• Keep a spare timer with you• Have something to hold the flip score

down in windy weather• Use multi-colored pens/pencils• You do your score, they do theirs. Copy

their team stats down after each quarter.

End of Game

• If you are the home team, the officials must sign your book.
