Darth Headwrecker
Head NSO
Non Skating Officials
If any of you ever get a chance to see a bout, you’ll notice that there are a lot of staff, up to 7 referees and around 15 officials. For our referees to do a good job, they need these “NSO”s to communicate penalties and scores with between jams. The girls can’t bout without you!
As NSO you will be a fulltime member of our league and enjoy all the benefits that come from this.
Rough job outlines that we need immediately are:
1 Jam timer – whistle signals start & end of full jam, timing 2 minutes per jam, 30 seconds between jams.
2 Score trackers – One for each team, to confirm points scored for each jammer on each scoring pass with jammer refs.
1 Score board operator – You make sure that all the scores end up on the scoreboard so the audience, coaches, players and referees can see.
3 Penalty timers – One for each team and one for the jammers, times 1 minute in the penalty box for penalised skaters.
1 Penalty Box Manager – Responsible for paperwork in the penalty box
2 Penalty trackers – One for each team, must have ears open at all times! Refs will report all minor & major penalties to you between jams but it helps if you listen out for your own teams penalties during a jam too.
1 Penalty Wrangler – Helps the penalty trackers by running beside the refs and writing down called penalties for faster communication.
1 Penalty-board operator – tracking players with 3 minor penalties so refs know to send them off for their next minor.
2 Outside whiteboard operators – communicating penalties with outside refs during jams and with penalty trackers between jams.
2 Lineup trackers – keeping track of what players are in each jam and what position they play in.
