Home team will be the official scorebook for the game and the Tournament Book MUST BE USED TO CERTIFY RESULTS to AAU NE as this is a Power Ranking Tournament, so it needs to contain all game and player scoring info – player name and scores, fouls, running and final score, etc. The home scorer must complete the official book during the game. We prefer that the scorer not attempt to fill in two books during the game so that he or she can confer with the away book keeper during TOs and halftime to prevent issues. BOTH COACHES NEED TO SIGN THE OFFICIAL SCOREBOOK after each game, these signatures are final, and mean you agree to the score as it reads in the book.Settle any problems over the proper score at the scorer's table before you sign the scorebook with the refs, the home scorer- coaches of both teams - clock/scorekeeper person. Use head scorer Cindy Chornyak (802-734-6846)) as a final appeal on disputes over score and bring the problem to her attention immediately after the game concludes.All teams who go 4-0 on the weekend receive their VT Maple Syrup awards at ST.Michael's College site by seeing the head scorer Cindy Chornyak who verifies and hands out the awards to the coaches.
