2.       At the end of the clinic, candidates will take a written test covering the rules and techniques scorekeeping.  The passing grade is 80%.

3.       The candidate will then keep score at a GEVA sanctioned event, with a USAV certified First Referee, who holds a Provisional or higher rating, under actual match conditions  A minimum of one match (2 sets) plus one deciding set are required.  The Referee must sign the completed scoresheets.

4.       If the candidate was certified last season, they must submit satisfactory scoresheets from one match (2 sets) plus a deciding set to maintain certification.

Mrs. Margaret Stead

P. O. Box 994

6.       The Club Director will be notified of the certification of the candidate by the Junior Scorekeeper Coordinator. 

7.       Certification is for two seasons.  Once certified, clinic attendance and test will be required every second season to maintain certification.

Coaches should remind their players that only 1 legal scorekeeper is allowed at the scoring table.  Any other players wishing to score a set may do so, but away from the score table.

All scoresheets at GEVA tournaments will be reviewed to assure that certified scorekeepers continue to score correctly even after receiving certification.
