Training Module 2022-2023�Scorer and Assistant Scorer/Libero Tracker��Reference: NYSCVOA Policy and Procedure Manual
The second referee (R2) works closely with the scorer and the assistant scorer (libero tracker)
throughout the match.
The R2 will review NYSCVOA’s scoring procedures with the scorer and the libero tracker
upon arrival.
This module is to help the scorer/libero tracker better understand what is expected during a match
The R2 will minimally review with the scorer and tracker the following information:
NYSCVOA Best Practice:
Officials should bring score sheets and
tracking sheets to every match just in case.…
��������
Match paper work can be printed from the NYSCVOA website. �
The scorer will need:
4 non-deciding set score sheets
1 deciding set score sheet
2 line up sheets
1 libero tracking sheet
The scorer should bring
3-4 different colored pens
(Black, blue, red) to every match
There are 2 libero system game sheets and one libero game sheets
The scorer will arrive at least 20 minutes prior to match time.
Upon arrival the scorer will:
Important information is recorded in black (or the darker color) ink on the score sheet.
The scorer can fill in the teams’ sides, print your (scorer’s) name and sign the score sheet
Once the officials determine first serve, the first three score sheets can be filled out for the match. Complete the same areas like the first set and circle the S for first serve.
Currently it is unsure if the teams will change sides between sets, this procedure will be reviewed by the second referee (R2) court side with the scorer.
The Bulldogs (Team A left side of net/score sheet) chose to serve for set one.
Indicate sets 1, 2, 3 at the bottom of the completed score sheets.
All this information is recorded in black (or the darker color) ink.
Initial lineups and substitute’s numbers are recorded in the PLAYERS NUMBERS column.
The yellow highlighted part of the score sheet is known as the running score column.
The red outlined part of the score sheet is known as the scoring section. Important information is recorded in this section.
The SUBSTITUTIONS section is where team substitutions are counted.
The SANCTIONS and COMMENTS section is for penalties or sanctions issued to a team. The comments section is for rare events that require an explanation
The R2 (second referee) will obtain the lineups from both coaches and give them to the scorer. The scorer will secure the lineups and will make sure no one sees them. The circle indicates the first server for the set. Because the teams rotate forward (clockwise) on the court, the scorer enters the lineup, using the darker colored pen, backwards or counter clockwise from the first serve.
The c indicates
speaking / floor captain
Bull
War
The R2 and the scorer will check for duplicate numbers, lack of a libero number and no captain denoted on the lineup sheet. The scorer will check each player’s number when they go to serve the ball to guarantee proper service order is maintained throughout the set. The R2 will instruct the scorer on how he/she wants to be notified in the event of an incorrect server.
The scorer will draw a circle when Bulldogs #4 contacts the ball for service.
The scorer waits for the result of the play.
Bulldogs #4’s serve hits the net.
The R1 indicates a point for the Warriors and then signals net serve.
The R in the circle means rotate. The Bulldogs lost the point because the serve hit the net.
The Warriors first point is slashed (rally point) in the running score column and the corresponding number is recorded on the server’s line (#20) without a symbol around it.

The Assistant Scorer / Libero Tracker (AS/LT)
The AS/LT will help the scorer keep track of substitutions (team and players) as well as when the libero serves.
Once the libero has served in a position, the libero must serve from that position for the remainder of the match.
When the libero enters the court the AS/LT will record an L next to the number the libero is replacing. The libero replacement does not count as a substitution.
When a substitution is authorized by the R2 to enter the court, the AS/LT will slash the number of the player leaving the court and record the player’s number entering the court. The team substitution is slashed.
