2007-08: Adult Scorekeeping in GEVA

 

 

There are three levels of adult scorekeeper certification that can be earned in GEVA.

 

            Qualified Scorekeeper – tested and awarded at the local level

Provisional Scorekeeper - tested and awarded at the local level

            Regional Scorekeeper - tested and awarded at the local level

 

 

Scorekeeper certification consists of two parts;

1.      Candidates must take a written test covering the rules for and techniques of scorekeeping.  All of the information covered is contained in the USAV rulebook.

2.      Following successful passing of the written test the candidate must keep score at sanctioned tournament and mail the scoresheets in for evaluation.

 

 

As a reminder, Adult GEVA teams planning to play in Regionals must have TWO certified Scorekeeper on their roster by April 1, 2008 or not be eligible to play.
