Scoring Session
Scoring Review & Questions
• Scoring Points
• Ask the players if they have completed the Scorer module. Prior to
the match, briefly remind the scorer that she is a part of the officiating
team.
– Put away electronic devices, no food at the table.
– Check lineup sheet for captain designation, Libero(s) designated,
and coach’s signature.
– Note the Libero can be the captain this year, be familiar with
checking for this and how to note it on the scoresheet.
– While the R2 is checking the lineups, help check that correct
players are on the court.
– When there is a substitution, record the information before giving
the ready signal. Insist that she gives the ready signal.
– If there is a wrong server, wait until the serve is initiated before
telling the R2.
– If a problem arises, do not hesitate to tell the R2.
– The coaches for the playing teams need to address the R2, not the
scorers, for next server, number of subs or timeouts taken.
Scoring Review & Questions
Eloise Hiemke
•
•
You as the certified official will guide the players with questions they have.
– Know how to record sanctions efficiently. Sometimes this will have to wait until set
is over.
– Be familiar with the deciding set score sheet and Libero tracking sheet. Be able to
guide the scorers with the correct procedures for these forms.
Between sets, get off of the stand and look at the score sheet. Make sure the scorer has
completed the end of set procedures.
– Marking off unused points
– Writing in winner/loser and final scores
•
•
At the end of the match, do not proof the entire score sheet. Remember you have 10
minutes between matches and need to get the warmup for the next match started.
– Verify the correct team is listed as the winner with the final score, the running
score, and last exit score (which will be circled).
– We will no longer use the hourglasses over the rest of the unearned points.
Instead we will use a “T” over the unearned points

Protest Procedures
Protest Procedures (USAV Rule 5.1.2.1)
•
If an explanation of an application or interpretation of a rule is not satisfactory to
the game captain, he/she must immediately indicate his/her disagreement and file
an official protest prior to the authorization of the next service.
–
•
•
•
•
USAV 5.1.2.2: For nationally sanctioned 14-and-under competition, the coach may act instead of
the game captain to perform the functions stated in 5.1.2.1 …
If the disagreement with the referees’ explanation involves the last point of the
set, the official protest must be recorded within the first 60 seconds of the timed
interval between sets.
If the final point of the match is disputed, the protest must be recorded within the
first 60 seconds after the final point of the match is scored. (Protest is ruled upon
by the Championship Committee either immediately or prior to the start of the
next set.)
It is advisable to have an assigned Protest Committee available to rule upon a
protest as soon as possible prior to the first service following the protest.
Such action should preclude playing the match over from the point of protest if the
protest is upheld.
Protest Procedures (USAV Rule 5.1.2.1)
•
Protests considered by the 1st referee (Protest or Tournament Committee) include:
1. misinterpretation of a playing rule,
2. failure of the 1st referee to apply the correct rule to a given situation, or
3. Failure to charge the correct penalty-sanction for a given fault.
Serving fault vs positional faults
Substitution – Delay sanction vs improper request
Give some examples of the above 3 situations. Found several from the USAV Case book.
•
Protest facts recorded on the score sheet include the:
1. score of the set at the time of the protest,
2. players and positions at the time of the protest,
3. player substitutions and team substitutions made up to the protest,
4. team time-outs taken up to the protest,
5. situation that caused the protest, and
6. signatures of the scorer, captains and 1st referee, indicating the facts are correct.

Pre-Arrival Preparation with Head Referee
•
•
Using the phone is the most direct way, still, most of us will opt for email
Assuming email:
–
–
–
Confirm to the head referee right away. Re-confirm if a schedule change effects you.
Copy (at the very least) your first partner. Many include all their partners, which is also a good habit to be
in.
The email should verify:
•
•
•
–
–
•
•
•
Where you will be refereeing
When you expect to arrive
The time and court of your first match.
I include my cell number in my email in case somebody needs to reach me on-the-fly for some reason.
I save the sent email in a folder I use for all that stuff.
Head referees don’t want to have to follow up with you just to be sure you got the schedule and
will be there. Confirming quickly saves them time. It also leads to the final point, professionalism.
Confirming, and doing so early, demonstrates professionalism and seriousness towards your craft.
While the following items do not pertain directly to confirming with the head referee, there are
several other things a professional referee should be doing in advance:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Have a clean and ironed uniform.
Make sure your supplies are ready and where you need them.
Have gas in your tank and your cell phone charged.
If you tend to be somebody who’s always late to things, know this about yourself and leave 5 or 10 minutes
earlier than you’d normally be inclined to.
Be sure to set your alarm.
Be aware of weather forecasts.
Get enough sleep.
Preparation for Assignment on Court
• Print schedule sent to you by the Region Office
• Be at site at least 30 minutes before scheduled start time
• Check in with Head Referee for the day
• See if original schedule sent out has changed
• See if there are any special details about the tournament
• Change into officiating uniform
– (at local tournaments, you can wear uniform to site)

Coin Toss
• Both officials should be at the net pole in front of the scorer's table before
calling the players over for the coin toss. Face court.
• Either whistle while holding the coin in the air clearly visible to both
teams, or simply ask the coaches to have the captains come up for the
coin toss.
• Have the players introduce themselves.
• Introduce yourself as the R1 and your partner as the R2 (do not attempt to
shake hands or fist bump the players, this is not appropriate).
• Insure the players know the court markings, tell them any ground rules
that might be specific to your court.
• Assign one team heads and the other tails.
• Flip the coin and catch it.
• Whichever team wins the coin toss has the option to choose either
serve/receive or side of court
• After the team has chosen, the opponent gets to choose the other option.
• Tell them when the warm ups will start and who has the court first.
– Serving team followed by receiving team
– Most of the time, warm-ups should have already started when coin toss is
conducted. If appropriate, serving team might take court immediately.
• Wish both teams 'Good Luck' and dismiss them to their benches
Duties During Warm-up
Duties during Warm-up:
– Second referee
– Scorer
– Assistant Scorer
– LJ's
– Determine who the head coach is
Start of Match Protocol
Start of Match Protocol
– No longer using the “sideline march-out”. (Removal of USAV
Rule 7.2.2c)
– Once warmups have completed, get both teams to the end line
in a timely manner.
• As the R2, provide a quick reminder to all bench players (receiving
team) where they are to stand during play as the starters go to the
end line and the reserve players go to the bench. This reminder
should have already been given to the serving team while the
receiving team was warming up.
– R1 walks across the court on Team A side of court. Prior to
climbing on stand, R1 whistles and signals teams to center of
court to shake hands. R1 then climbs on stand to begin match.
– R2 stays on bench side of court, to conduct line-up check.
When R2 is complete and scorer confirms line-up and gives
“ready” signal, then R2 gives the court to the R1.
Completion of Match
• Review Scoresheet with Scorer
– Make sure the final scores are correct for each team and
the correct winning team is identified.
– Ensure the team names match the pre-printed information
from the scoresheet or that they match the names from
the pool play sheet.
– Everything else is secondary.
• Thank your work team for their efforts.
– Most Teams appreciate this compliment from the official.
• Scorer and First Referee ONLY sign the scoresheet.
The coach does NOT sign the scoresheet.
• Turn in the score sheet to the appropriate location.
