The running score

B.10.1

The scorer shall keep a chronological running summary of the points scored by each team. There are 4 main columns on the scoresheet for the running score. Each main column is divided into 4 columns. The 2 on the left are for team 'A' and the 2 on the right for team 'B'. The centre columns are for the running score (160 points) for each team. The scorer shall: • First , draw a diagonal line (/ for right-handed or \ for left handed) for any valid goal scored and a filled circle ( l ) for any valid free throw scored, over the new total number of points as accumulated by the team that has just scored. • Then , in the blank space on the same side of the new total number of points (beside the new / or \ or l ), enter the num ber of the player who scored the goal or the free throw. A 3-point goal scored by a player shall be entered with drawing a circle around the player's number. A goal accidentally scored by a player in his/her own basket shall be entered as having been scored by the captain of the opponents’ team on the court. Points scored when the ball does not enter the basket (Article 31) shall be entered as having been scored by the player who attemp ted the shot. At the end of each quarter or overtimes, the scorer shall draw a thick circle ( ¢ ) around the latest number of points scored by each team, followed by a thick horizontal line under those points and under the number of each player who scored those last points. At the start of each quarter or overtimes the scorer shall continue to keep a chronological running summary of the points scored from the point of interruption. Whenever possible, the scorer should check his/her running score with the visual scoreboard. If there is a discrepancy, and his/her score is correct, he/she shall immediately take steps to have the scoreboard corrected. If in doubt or if one of the teams raises an objection to the correction, he/she shall inform the crew chief when the ball becomes dead and the game clock is stopped. The referees may correct any error in scorekeeping involving the score, number of fouls or number of time-outs under the provi sions of the rules. The crew chief shall sign the corrections. Extensive corrections shall be documented on the reverse side of the scoresheet. The running score: Additional instructions
