Caroline Springs Blue Devils Basketball Club Team Managers Handbook Game Fees
The club pays game fees in advance to the KBA. The score sheet fees are $30 per
game.
Some team managers collect extra money each week and use the extra towards a
present for the coach at the end of the season. Others find it simpler to just collect the
money required each week and take up a separate collection for the coach.
Score sheet Responsibilities
Prior to the start of the game, the team manager is required to fill in the score sheet
with each players name and number (ascending lowest to highest). At the conclusion
the game, the team manager must ensure that all players have signed the back of the
score sheet. This signature will be reconciled at the end of the season to determine
which players have qualified for finals. Each player must play a minimum of 8 games
(with signature) to qualify for the finals. Special consideration is made for players who
have been injured, however a doctor’s certificate is required for player eligibility.
The winning team is responsible for returning the signed score sheet to the stadium
attendant after all players have signed the score sheet.
Scoring Roster
The team manager will create a scoring roster for the parents of their respective teams.
Therefor the scoring responsibility is shared and fairly managed, so that the same
person is not doing it each week. Each team is must provide a scorer to manage either
the clock or score sheet. If any parent is unfamiliar with the how to score, then it is the
parents’ responsibility to sit with the family scoring the week prior. If they are unable to
perform their duties on their scheduled week it is their responsibility to swap with
another family with at least a weeks notice. The club will conduct periodic education
sessions to assist those who are unfamiliar with the process.
Player Registration
Team managers should always consult the Coaching Coordinator or Team Placement
Coordinator before notifying a new player of a place in any team. The team manager
should under no circumstance collect money from any players and should direct the
player parent or guardian to the treasurer for any payments. All contact details are
available on the website www.csbluedevils.com.au A player transferring from another
club will require a KBA Clearance and must complete with our team placement
coordinator. Uniform Clash
Caroline Springs Blue Devils Basketball Club Team Managers Handbook Our primary uniform is Orange with blue trim. When must revert to our Blue uniforms
when we play against another CS Blue Devils team only. The rule is the higher team
number will wear orange and the lower team will wear Blue (eg CS Blue Devils U12-1 v
CS U12-2, the 2’s would wear alternate color)
Walkovers & Forfeits
If a team does not appear with four eligible or ineligible players within ten minutes of
the scheduled starting time, then that team has given a walkover. The opposing team is
awarded a 10-0 score. A walkover incurs a fine, so every effort should be made to play a
forfeit match rather than declaring a walkover.
.
Notified walkovers will incur a monetary penalty equal to the cost of that team’s share of
the score sheet. After three (3) such walkovers in any one season the team may
be disqualified. To be a valid notified walkover, the team giving the walkover must do
so prior to 8pm on the Wednesday before the scheduled game. Please notify the club
secretary as per contact details on the website.
.
*IF THE OPPOSING TEAM MANGERS SHOULD COLLECT REFUND OF SCORESHEET FEES
Forfeits
Forfeit games occur when a team plays an ineligible player. A team without four eligible
players may FORFEIT the game by noting, on the score sheet, that it has used an
ineligible player to make up the numbers to at least four, so being able to make up a
team to play the game and thus avoiding a walkover. Such a game counts for
premiership points. Forfeit game scores stand unless the forfeiting team wins, otherwise
the score will be recorded as a 2-0 win to the opponents. Zero (0) premiership points
shall be awarded to the offending team. In forfeit games normal playing fees apply.
