Guidelines for Timekeepers

 

They:

 

1)        Shall ensure that the DATE of the game is indicated on the game sheet.

2)       Shall ensure that all the OFFICIALS are indicated on the game sheets.  This is how we know who worked the games and, consequently, who gets paid.  If two people split the duties of any of the positions, please indicate the split in % terms.  Example, if Régent is assistant referee for the game before he plays in nets, he usually refs until halfway through the second period and then hands the duties over to someone else.  Therefore, the game sheet should indicate both names with Régent at 75% and the other person at 25%.

3)       Shall indicate the GOALIES’ NAMES in the “TIRS SUR:” field of the game sheet.

4)       Shall indicate all SHOTS-ON-GOAL.  A shot-on-goal is a shot that WOULD HAVE gone in if the goalie were not there to stop it.  If the goalie stops a shot that she did not see but that would have gone in, then it is a shot-on-goal.  If the goalie gloves a raising shot ball that would have gone over the net, then it is NOT a shot on goal.

5)       Shall ensure that players, whose names are HANDWRITTEN in the roster section of the game sheet, have completed a waiver.  Usually, if a name is handwritten it indicates the person is playing for the first time (and, therefore, is required to sign a waiver).  It is possible that the player has played in another division or another team and has already completed a waiver.  Once a player has completed a waiver, they can play in any division.  If, however there is any doubt as to whether the player has completed a waiver then the timekeeper SHALL insist that the player complete a waiver.

6)       SHALL stop any game in which it is discovered that a player has yet to sign the waiver.

7)       Shall ensure that the NUMBER of players on the game sheet for a given team is equal to the number of players present for the game.  Names of players listed on the game sheet but not present for the game shall be stricken off.  NO TEAM CAN HAVE MORE THAN 10 PLAYERS FOR A GAME.

8)       Shall transcribe all goals, assists, penalties and the period and time that they occurred, as instructed by the referees.  The time-keepers shall not add any of the aforementioned information unless he has the permission of the referees, coordinators or President

9)       Shall advise the referees and/or coordinator, if she believes an ineligible player is playing or illegal equipment is being used.

10)    May be called upon by the Head referee, Coordinator and/or President to provide her input for a given situation during or after a game.

11)     Shall indicate when there are 5, 2 and 1 minutes remaining in a period and a game.

12)    Shall blow the whistle to end a period or a game.
