GAME DAY TEAM LIST SUBMISSION & SCORING
We will be using Live Scoring via the Netball Taranaki App to submit team lists and to score the games.

Team contacts must submit a final team list of up to 12 players to participate in each game, prior to the start of the game. 
Failure to submit a team list in the app BEFORE your game will result in forfeiture of competition points.
Each team must supply one scorer, who will keep score using the scoring app. These designated persons stand in line with the centre circle together on the side line of the court. The scored must be agreed upon BEFORE submitting. Any discrepancies must be taken to the Satellite Controller on the day. 
Your scorer code can be found at the bottom of the Team Builder box where your players are registered OR you can collect the scorer code at the Tower prior to your first game.
BEFORE submitting the final scoring result, please enter YOUR UMPIRE’S FULL NAME in the comment box.

Failure to supply a scorer means your team must accept the score as presented by the opposing team. ​​​​​​​If neither team provides a scorer, no competition points will be awarded to either team.
