SCORING
Normal rules of basketball
regarding free throws apply
for all levels of
competition. Free Throw
violations include stepping
on or over the line prior to
the ball reaching the rim,
or shots rebounding off the
"out of bounds" basket
support and equipments.
Scorers should record
baskets made and missed on
each attempt according to
the instructions on the
entry form/score sheet. It
is recommended that multiple
scorers be assigned to each
basket for scoring accuracy
and comparison. All scores
should be verified before
the next contestant is
allowed to shoot. The use of
videotape recording of the
competition is not
recommended to resolve
questions on scoring totals.
The judges and scorers and
actual entry form/score
sheets should determine
final scores. |
