Signing Score Book!?
National Federation.
It it written anywhere in the rule book or case book that the referees have to sign the score book? |

Are you kidding me? I just answered "no" first, and a little pop-up told me that my response has to be 10 letters long. Wassup with that?:confused: How about this, Brad......"no fuking way". That's 11 letters.:D |
Really?
wow. I just did it and that's very strange. No kidding. What is the reason behind that, I wonder? No more contests for the shortest reply. . . |
I have experienced that too. I came to the conclusion, you have to speak in complete sentences.

A complete sentence requires a subject and a verb. Either may be implied. But the word "no" doesn't fulfill the requirement.

I do not believe there is any place that requires an official to sign the book. I just know that in my state it is required that we do so for ratings purposes at all varsity games.

<HR> Is "I am" the shortest English sentence?
29-May-1998 <HR>Dear Cecil: A page of fun facts making the rounds says "I am" is the shortest complete sentence in English. Can this be true? --Jim Kepler, Chicago Dear Jim: No. You object: "No" isn't a sentence! A sentence needs a predicate! Oh, OK. Ready? Go. You object again: That's cheating! The subject is only implied! Who could possibly call that a sentence? I. Yeah, right, you say. And we're supposed to just take your word for it? ! :o |

Shut up is not allowed, under 10 characters.
However, shut TF up is allowed. You're welcome Chuck. |

I have not come across an official who has signed the book in the state tournament (all rounds) or an official who knew they were supposed to sign the book. |

I wonder if the game is not over until the book is signed, or if the game is over so why sign the book. mick |

Of course, this "signature business" is only defined by the Illinois HS Assoc. for the state tournament - not for regular season/holiday tournament play. |
Lah me......
The original question asked if there was anything in the FED rule book or case book that stated the officials had to sign the book. The answer is: <font size = +8>NO!</font> |

Not just post season.

I do not think I said it really matters other than just signing the book to get the proper information in the book. Usually officials sign the book before the game. I do not think it really matters when you do it other than it would be better to sign the book before the game so you do not have to deal with someone after the game.

http://www.ihsa.org/tc/2005-06/bkbtc.pdf This specifically states what I have mentioned above. As I've stated before, most officials I've talked to don't know of this requirement and do not implement this practice during the state tournament. Hopefully that clears this up. As others have said before, I do not believe there is a FED rule/requirement to sign the score book at any time. |
Well I have never had anyone take these statements literally. I have only had the signing we normally do as the confirmation of the final score when we actually leave the floor. The rules do say that when the officials leave the visual confines of the floor that is approval of the final score. I think that statement in that document has not been updated since the NF clarified several years back that officials did not actually have to sign the book. I am sure it is just one of those things that no one complains about and no one has brought to the IHSA's attention and it has never been change as a result. In my limited playoff career, I have never once had a single person ever try to bring the book to us to “approve the score.” I think this is more of an oversight than an actual enforced policy.

Boy, I wish I could take credit for that little bit of computer programming, but my programming expertise is in FORTRAN, and my sister, who really is a computer software expert in real life, has been in Atlanta since mid-November working on a project for one of her clients, and is really too busy to help me with some a small programming quirk as this; having said that, I probably could have come up with this idea because I really did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. I could go on and on and on about the whether the scorebook should be signed before or after or at all but then my post would get wordier and wordier. :D MTD, Sr. |
Huh?

According to you we were talking about two different things. I am just telling you that no one in the 5 different regionals basketball (Class A and AA) I have worked ever made an issue out of the officials signing the book for score approval other than this post. You are the first I have ever come in contact with that stated this was even a policy. I did once read this statement, but no one ever said to follow it or else. Also I was talking about signing the book before the game you were talking about a post-season policy. Peace |

You don't sign your name to anything for ratings. You just give both coaches your name and number before the game. I don't know of anything in Illinois asking for a signature at the end of the game except for volleyball. You do sign the official scorekeeper's book at the end of a game in volleyball. I can't remember if you do in Indiana or not. |
