The scorecard The scorecard for our match looks like this: Ice Cream The remaining card is divided into quarters which represent the quarters of the match Each scorer needs to supply a scorecard Tip: A scorecard doesn’t have to be pre-printed, it can be a piece of paper with lines drawn on it There is a place at the top of the scorecard to add the name of each team copyright 2016 Franc Concepts Ltd

The scorecard The teams take alternate centre passes At the top of each quarter is a space to show who takes the centre pass during the quarter. Ice Cream Either an “E” (Evens) or an “O” (Odds) is added to each box copyright 2016 Franc Concepts Ltd

Odds and Evens So, who gets the “E” and who gets the “O”? Ice Cream Before the start of any match, the score is 0 : 0. When added together 0 + 0 = 0 This is shown on our scorecard as an Even number It depends on the score at any point in the match copyright 2016 Franc Concepts Ltd

The scorecard Recording the score Tip: Write the score as numbers , not five bar gates The umpire will signal a goal has been scored by raising their arm in the air Ice Cream E O (numbers are easier to read) When a goal is scored, add a goal to the scoring team side of the scorecard, in the quarter in which it was scored AND cross out the previous score for the team who scored a goal copyright 2016 Franc Concepts Ltd

Odds and Evens During the match: Tip: In high scoring games just add the last digits, for example: 28 + 37 At any point in the match the scores on each side of the scorecard are added together to decide if the next centre pass is an Even or Odd number Ice Cream E O Add together 8 + 7 To give you an odd (15). (it’s easier than adding the whole number together to get the odd number 65) copyright 2016 Franc Concepts Ltd

Odds and Evens During the match: Both umpires will signal who is taking the next centre pass Ice Cream If they disagree, they will ask you to confirm who should take the centre pass.
