newbie sub procedure

[chartrusepengui]

Some advice I was given is that as R2 position yourself on the opposite side of the scorekeeper from the subs, very near the table. Then report them as you record them. This speeds the process and allows you to keep them in your field of vision while easily getting confirmation from the scorekeeper that she has them recorded. Seems to work pretty well.

When I started - a senior official told me to stand on the attack line facing the net. This position forces the subs into the proper substitution zone - sort of preventive officiating. Also makes it easier to keep track of subs reporting together. In addition, you are facing the table. I think this is the same position as quoted above - just clarifying.
