Grading Decision

This week we submitted to the stadium that Div 2 was not benefitting the development and enjoyment of the game for our girls.

Pleasingly they have acknowledged this and we will now compete in U/12 Div 3.

Once the new draw is released I will let you know.

I am pleased this has occurred and it will allow our girls to continue to develop their basketball and enjoy the game.

Scoring

Please be aware that as of Tuesday 14th May we will be using our Stadium Scoring system. 

What does this mean? 

This means that all games will be scored from the laptops on the score benches. 
Please ensure that you are at the score bench prior to your game to enter in any players that may not be on your team list. 
It is extremely important to enter a players details correctly, if not they will show up uninsured on our system. 

Why do we use Stadium Scoring? 

We use Stadium Scoring as it is an accurate reflection on the game. 
Stadium Scoring captures data such as an individual’s game points and fouls. 
It also captures data on how many games a player has played and is a helpful tool when it comes to finals. 

How do I use Stadium Scoring? 

Stadium Scoring is a simply program to operate but can be daunting when first operating. 
Below are some helpful instructions, these instructions are also available on the score bench.

PreGame Instructions
During Game Instructions
After Game Instructions
Stadium Scoring Actions Guide

Please make sure that these instructions are passed on to all members in your team as it is important to provide a competent score each week. 

If you need any assistance throughout the process please see our friendly Sports Office Staff.
